On Saturday there was an open day at Wolverhampton top lock.
Although we have been in a wide lock before this was our first visit inside a narrow one.
The lock itself is 15 years older than the USA. And it is in better condition too.
The reason the lock was drained was to allow for new gates to be fitted. Here they are.
We went down into the lock, which is a grade 2 listed building. The talks were interesting and everybody was happy to answer all questions.
We then looked at the state of the drained canal below the lock.
We now know why it is so easy to ground. We will stay closer to the middle from now on.
The other surprises were the answer to the questions:
What do life expired lock gates look like and where do they go.
We found both answers at lock 2.
