Stockingfield Stop Lock, Forth & Clyde Canal
The stop lock is one of several on the canal installed during the second world war.
According to Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockingfield_Junction#The_Safety_Gates] 'In 1942 two massive steel safety gates were constructed on the Edinburgh side of Stockingfield Junction at what is known as the Stockingfield Narrows. The purpose of these two hand cranked steel gates was to hold back the waters of the Forth and Clyde Canal to prevent serious flooding in Glasgow in the event of bombing destroying the Stockingfield Aqueduct...'
In the distance are flats at the corner of Lochburn Road and cadder Road.

Forth and Clyde Canal [27]
The Glasgow Branch of the canal (bottom right of the image) meets the main line at Stockingfield Junction. There are plans to build a new footbridge here to connect all three banks - see https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/news/stockingfield-bridge/
The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The Glasgow Branch of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6771
