Lovely scene. I must get back into family history and find exactly where my ancestor was a lock keeper.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter I will take you up on that one day, but at the moment I have so many projects on the go that family history has been pushed to the back burner. It's hard work being retired isn't it, too many projects and not enough time.
