Tail gates and footbridge at Wolverhampton Locks No 17
Very few of the Wolverhampton Locks give boat crews the luxury of a footbridge! We usually have to cross the gates (carefully) on a narrow platform.
This one also leads to a footpath (behind the camera) crossing park land to housing in Viaduct Drive in Aldersley.
There are 21 locks (originally 20) in the Wolverhampton flight, lowering the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line (Wolverhampton Level) by 132 feet (40 metres) between Broad Street Basin and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Junction, about one and a three quarter miles (2·8 km) to the north-west.
