It may not be relevant but there used to be a retired BW employee who lived at? the top of the flight and who gave the impression that he was the lock keeper. Certainly, if you gave the impression you thought he was, he never corrected you.

We came down Hanwell at 7am on Monday morning (having been stuck at Cowley Peachey for most of the Sunday when we needed to be passing those locks) and were warned by the lock-keeper that one of the pounds was four feet down on what it should have been the previous night, and still about three feet down that morning, and we probably wouldn't get a pair of 'traditional' boats through. I don't know who you saw Harriet, but there hasn't been a lock keeper on that flight since Anna retired to start a family with Fenton the Chimney sweep some 15 years ago. Perhaps there was a BW bod despatched to deal with reported low levels--but thanks for the details anyway :-)) Barry Nb oooeeerrr!
