PKYo, The locks toward Haigh Hall are deep. Their massive gates weigh more than a tonne each. A number of the gates have chains and pulleys to help boaters open and close them.
To share the work, I asked another boat to pair up.
Quite a few of the #locks are covered in a lush, living carpet of #vegetation (see photo).
I did see a worker, today, in a white hazardous-materials suit, #spraying #chemicals around each lock – #herbicides? 🤔
