Berkhamsted: The Rising Sun public house
Affectionately known as the Riser by locals, the Rising Sun is a Victorian canalside pub built in the 1880s and largely unchanged since. It's situated overlooking Lock No. 55 on the Grand Union Canal, seen in the foreground, and is only accessible by foot from along the canal or down a gravel driveway off George Street.

This is the lock cottage at the bottom of the three "Berko" locks. Aren't those chimneys amazing?

Modern waterside apartments are reflected in no 55 lock which takes its name from the adjacent pub (just out of shot to the left).

River Bulbourne enters Grand Union Canal
At least in principle it does, via the vegetation choked cut parallel to the lock. It seems to carry little or no flow now, although the watercourse is intact through the town and more or less water filled. It once was also the lengthy tail race of Upper Mill. I cannot account for the opening under the path along the bank, it may be just local drainage. It does not seem to be flowing either. There is no trace on old maps of any drainage to this point.
