Locks 25 to 23

Lock 25

As you approach lock 25 you navigate a very tight left hand bend,.........

.....as a train from Aldershot to Waterloo flashes past. The canal follows the mainline for quite a stretch now......
Lock Number 25 comes into full view. See top photo.
The mainline train line is VERY close!....
Lock No. 25 and Curzon Bridge.
The lock is situated underneath the army road bridge and is VERY dark.
