Comes with a decent mooring too - but where? Obviously not at the end of the garden, as the house fronts on to the lock. The boat depicted on the mooring looks familiar; I'm sure we've met it a couple of times, and that it has a Gardner 4L2 or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I wonder what it was. Its position suggests a lock-keeper's dwelling, but it looks too big and substantial for that. Perhaps an area manager's home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartland Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 The Hazelhurst image is of historical interest, I wonder if is now sold. This location is the former Staircase Locks which were used from the time the Leek Branch was opened until the new locks were constructed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
