@whereisucha: 🎬 Ever wondered how boats move between different water levels on canals? 🚤 This is a canal lock in action at Stratford-upon-Avon - a system that has been helping boats travel across Britain for more than 200 years. 🔒 The narrowboat enters the lock, the gates close behind it, and water slowly fills the chamber. As the water level rises, the boat rises with it until it reaches the next level of the canal. 🌊 Once the water levels match, the front gates open and the journey continues. 🏭 Systems like this were essential during the Industrial Revolution, moving coal, iron and goods across the country - the same canal networks that inspired the world of Peaky Blinders. 📍 Today, these historic canals are one of the most peaceful places to explore in Stratford-upon-Avon. Walk along the basin, watch the boats pass through the locks, or take a canal tour and experience this engineering up close. 👀 Have you ever seen a canal lock working like this? #ukvisitorsguide #fyp #StratfordUponAvon #CanalLife #VisitEngland
