Series of Locks on Canal

Here are some photos of a series of Locks on the Grand Union Canal. We walked about a mile along the canal bank before turning back and in this short distance was a series of 7 locks.

I'm afraid that i do not know the height that these locks traverse although i will try to find that out.... These locks are hand operated, which must make it hard work when you come across a series of so many in such a short distance. I remember a number of years ago, when we spent a holiday crusisng the Thames, but thankfully those locks were maned, which was very nice, as those locks were huge and took more than the one boat.
