In Stoke Bottom Lock, Stoke-on-Trent
Lock No 36 on the Trent and Mersey Canal.
The lock provides a rise of ten feet (three metres). The Stoke flight of five locks provides a rise (or fall) of fifty feet (15·2 metres).
Notice the big cill halfway up.
Boaters descending through the lock MUST keep their stern forward of the white markers (just visible on both walls) as the water drains out of the lock. Failure to do this can result in the stern catching, the bow dipping, and potential sinking of the boat.

Stoke Bottom Lock near Stoke-on-Trent
Looking north-west towards Etruria.
Stoke Bottom Lock is No 36 on the Trent and Mersey Canal north-west of Stoke-on-Trent railway station. The Stoke flight of five locks provides a rise (or fall) of fifty feet (15·25 metres). This lock is slow to fill for some reason, so queues often form. Vernon Road is behind the camera, but prior to the extensive local regeneration there was no bridge adjacent to the lock.
