Tardebigge


Lock 33 on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. This is the 5th lock from the bottom of the 30 locks on the Tardebigge lock flight.
Of particular interest here is the lock tail bridge, cantilevered out from the off-side, which was to allow horse-drawn boats to be pulled into or out of the lock without the need to disconnect the towline.

See Google Aerial View of this location.
