More about this scene
These elevators were installed at a number of busy locks to cope with the vast numbers of small leisure boats spawned by the boating craze these views capture. The wooden elevator ramps have now long gone, but their concrete runways remain. The bridge has been rebuilt; on the right is the Boulters Lock Hotel, which is still thriving.
