Dutton lock is the next one down and I have often walked the dogs along the wee road which runs along side the river to the lock and I don't remember that bit. There are moorings between Dutton and Saltersford locks but I don't remember the concrete edging. Probably my old memory playing tricks ?

For those of you watching in black and white, the engine is the blue one.

At least, it looke like one of those Midland Region electrics, though I can't see any overhead wires.

Overhead lines and gantries are definitely there if you zoom in a bit.

How gratifying to know that the engine-spotting ability which I built up in the 1960s is still intact, even if it'[s pretty much redundant now.
