Lock Keepers Cottages (6) : Leawood

As the Nightingale Arm was private it had a lock to maintain water levels and control access. A dwelling was built at the junction for the staff who operated the lock. The building has not been lived in since the 1970s and is now pretty derelict.

Aqueduct no more

An aqueduct used to take the canal arm over the railway line but was removed in the 1940s, now all that remains is a footbridge. The watered part of the arm ends here.
