Swarkestone Lock, Trent and Mersey Canal, Derbyshire This is a deep wide lock which drops the water level by nearly eleven feet (3.3 metres). The gate paddles are particularly fierce in the rate they allow water to enter the chamber.

Railway bridge at Swarkestone. The bridge carrying the Stenson Junction - Sheet Stores Junction railway over the Trent & Mersey Canal basks in a burst of autumn sunshine. This railway crosses the canal twice; this is the westernmost bridge.

The room was fine. The staff not so much though. The check-in staff member was not very friendly, nor overly helpful when asked about parking. Thankfully I will not have to return there anytime soon.
