Wolverhampton "21" lock flight drained.
This was taken in the early 1990s, when the canal was drained and a number of the lock gates replaced. I'm guessing 1993, but to be honest I could be a year out either way. If anyone knows better, do let me know.
Later on in life I bought a 52' narrowboat to live on. One of my more memorable moments was singlehanding it down all 21 locks in this flight in about two hours!

Canal at Wolverhampton Locks No 14
There are 21 locks (originally 20) in the Wolverhampton flight, lowering the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line (Wolverhampton Level) by 132 feet (40 metres) to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Junction, in about one and three quarter miles.
Sustrans National Route 81 for cyclists passes along the towpath here. This is the way to Telford, Shrewsbury, Welshpool, Newtown and Aberystwyth avoiding most heavy traffic. Walkers should be aware that some cyclists are fit and fast, almost silent and don't always use their bells (if they even have one)!
