DescriptionLock keeper's tower at Gailey, Staffordshire - geograph.org.uk - 1577107.jpg
English: Lock keeper's tower at Gailey, Staffordshire On the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal this toll keeper's watch tower was necessary because the view northwards along the canal was obscured from the lock-side by Gailey Bridge (No 79) carrying Watling Street (now the A5). The lock here is at the northern end of the canal's summit pound (about ten miles to Compton Lock, Wolverhampton).
The building now houses a souvenir and ice-cream shop.
