Canal near Swindon in Staffordshire
This is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, looking north towards Swindon Bridge (No 40), Wombourne and Wolverhampton. Swindon Lock is on the other side of the bridge. The bollards are for boat crews who are using the lock, not passing navigators who fancy a couple of pints in the Green Man nearby!

Canal in Swindon, Staffordshire
This is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, looking north towards Swindon Bridge, No 40. The attendant British Waterways maintenance crew were about to leave following the felling and disposal of a very tall birch tree which was in danger of falling across the canal (if I remember correctly).

Swindon Lock near Wombourne, Staffordshire
A narrowboat on its way towards Wombourne is leaving the lock while Grandma looks on, no doubt anticipating her tasty lunch in The Green Man (recommended) a short while later.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal was opened in 1772, engineered by James Brindley. It joins the River Severn at Stourport to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood Junction in Staffordshire. There are 43 locks (45 if you don't fancy the deep wide locks at Stourport) and the canal is 46 miles in length.

Leaving Swindon Lock near Wombourne, Staffordshire
A narrowboat on its way towards Wombourne is leaving the lock. The crew member from the waiting boat is winding down the ground paddle of the full lock to prevent more water passing through.
