Trent and Mersey Canal at Malkin's Bank, Cheshire
This is part of the pound above paired Lock No 61. Ahead is Bridge No 149, formerly a farmer's accommodation bridge, but now just allowing access to the golf course. This is double arched since the 1830s addition of an extra lock was built, but the equipment visible past the bridge shows that the lock is receiving restoration so is not currently in use.
The 93·5 mile canal was opened fully by 1777 having taken eleven years to build.

Trent and Mersey Canal at Malkin's Bank, Cheshire
This is the pound between Locks 61 and 60 looking east up the Wheelock flight of eight. The wideness near to the camera shows the presence of a winding hole, where boats up to seventy feet (22 metres) in length can be turned round.
The 93·5 mile canal was opened fully by 1777 having taken eleven years to build.
