Activity below the lock

Although only a single lock (the only lock in 25 miles between Tyrley and Autherley), Wheaton Aston often causes as many queues and as much chaos as an entire lock flight. The confusion is compounded by boats using the waterpoint, the pub, and the mooring for the garage (just under the bridge) which sells the cheapest diesel for miles.
