@onewing Thank you Babs I spoke to the men and was told they were resin filling the stone blocks joints to stop seepage as it’s better than the original mortar, they said the surface resin will be cutoff when set and you wouldn’t know it was there:)
@corinnec Many thanks for your comment and Fav Corinne, it’s much appreciated, yes lots going on spoke to the men and told them I was going to take some photographs and they had no objections at all :)
@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana for your great comment and Fav as always they are both appreciated, there are 91 locks starting here on the Rochdale canal and 29 back from here on the Calder and Hubble Navigation canal behind me back to Cooper Bridge just passed Brighouse:)
