    Tips

    Here at Prestolee Locks are the remains of six locks, in two flights of three, and in between the two flights was a passing pound where the lock-keeper's cottage was. The canal was closed down in 1961 due to a lack of commercial activity. It is a very interesting area, and I like that they have invested in the construction of the ‘Meccano Bridge’ footbridge here to replace the old horse bridge. It is quite funny too that the location is known locally as Nob End—nothing like a bit of northern humour!
