Jack o' the Locks

This sculpture - 'Jack of the Locks' -  sits at the entrance to the canal basin in Sowerby Bridge, and depicts the town's lock keeper during the last days of commercial carrying on the Rochdale Canal.. 
Richard Tiffany was a well-known local character and his great-grandson modelled for the figure of the boy. 
A dry and draughty afternoon after a very damp start to the day.
