Paddle gear at Lock 43, Greenberfield. The up-and-over clough lever is pulled back into a vertical position to open the paddle. When it is in good condidtion, this type of paddle gear is quick and easy to operate.
Loooking over the wall near Lock 43, the original course of the canal at Greenberfield can be seen, curving towards the disused bridge. The original line ascended a 2 rise lock staircase beyond the bridge. In 1817 the staircase was found to waste too much water, leaving the summit pound shallow at times, so was replaced by individual locks on a new alignment.
