The Rising Sun Lock. The building just in front of the Riser by the canal was once stables for boat horses. It's now been converted into a canalside home by a local builder. |

This was once a coal yard. In addition to selling coal they also operated a chimney sweep service which is why Ravens's Lane Lock and Rising Sun Lock are known as "Sweeps Two" by boat people. This building has been replaced by modern blocks of flats but if you look closely from the Grand Union Canal you can still work out where the coal wharf was. |

the Boat Public House before it was rebuilt. Very different to the current building which is now a Fullers Tied House. |
