It's the last day of my holiday. Today I'm walking from Rodley to Leeds. I'm setting off early because the Pearson's Guide says that two staircases of 3 locks are targetted by hooligans - "the earlier in the day you negotiate these locks, the less angst you'll experience".
This photo shows the view ahead from bridge 217, a swing bridge.

Who were SSWC? According to Wikipedia, the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company was formed in 1853 but then it says "the majority of the supply area is within the counties of Staffordshire and the West Midlands but the company also supplies water to parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire".
