Locks No 60 & 61,
Sharing a lock makes sense whenever possible. It saves a lockful of water - very important especially on some canals such as the K&A, and it also shares the work of the lock between two crews. If you see another boat coming behind, always wait for him to share the lock with you.
The buildings in the distance house the Beam pumping engines that used to keep the canal fed with water. They have been preserved and are operated several times a year for visitors. The smoke shows the boilers are being stoked up for a day's work!
