Dist:0.7km<br/>At the bend above lock 12 the pound is wide to allow boats the opportunity to pass each other between the locks, which are at a difficult angle for navigators. It is said locally that even on a calm day the wind blows across this pound, and many a boater has taken a good close look at the reed beds.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This really is the only eyesore on this stretch of the canal. Closed to passenger traffic in 1960, Dr. Beeching put the boot in and all traffic stopped by 1970. The line went from North Rode to Leek, then Uttoxeter.

Dist:0.7km<br/>After heavy rain the overflow down the locks can be considerable so a wooden barrier has been placed across the overflow to prevent narrow-boats leaving lock 12 being sucked towards it, which could cause unintended ramming of the tow-path stonework under the bridge.
