Dist:0.3km<br/>Stourbridge Top Lock (No. 1) is the first of a flight of sixteen which lower the water level by 145 feet (about 44 metres). A further four locks at Stourton complete the drop to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Here the canal turns right at the white circular container, towards the Delph Locks and Brierley Hill. Straight ahead is the Fens Branch, which is merely a feeder.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Cycling is encouraged now along the towpaths, but motor cycles are not, so these barriers are a disincentive to the "joybikers". Stourbridge top lock is by the two cylindrical containers, and the Dudley Canal junction is tt the left of the image.
