Marple Locks No 2 east of Stockport
This telephoto assisted image was taken by looking north-west towards Marple Locks No 2 from the footbridge at Lock No 3.
The Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal consists of sixteen deep locks in a mile. The total fall (or rise) provided is 209ft 6in (almost 64 metres). The canal was opened to navigation by 1796 but not enough money remained to build these locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marple_Lock_Flight

The start of the climb
No climbing today, as it happens, when the lock system is icebound but here we are at number 1 lock of the Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal. 16 locks will lift you 209' over the next mile and a half, or so. Each lock lifts the boat about 13' and the passage through each lock takes a scarcely believable 44,000 gallons of water.
