Nine Locks

had been back up in Midlands for funeral of a good friend ,
On way home stopped of at the Stourbridge and Dudley Canal, which has an impressive flight of locks climbing straight up the hill. They are known locally as the Nine Locks, although, mysteriously there are only eight! Halfway up is a block of stables once used for boat horses and nearby the former lock-keeper's cottage can be seen.
A very peaceful spot
