A single storey stone lock keeper's cottage stands beside an abandoned lock. See Image Ref. 26290 for a similar earlier view. From a set of 11 unique photographs, recording the construction of the Camerton to Limpley Stoke Railway. This mostly followed the route of the abandoned Somersetshire Coal Canal.
