Bratch Locks Keepers House Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Wombourne South Staffordshire England UK


The Bratch Locks are a noted feature of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, planned by James Brindley, and opened in 1772. At present, the Bratch presents a flight of 3 locks. They are served by two bridges, a toll house, and a keeper's cottage. The whole forms a well-preserved example of vernacular Georgian architecture and design, built of mellow local brick.
