More weirstones

Continuing my exploration of locks and weirs on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal.  Last time I left off above Bratch Locks.  I may do something about that flight another time, but here I take up the story at Bumblehole Lock, in Wombourne, Staffordshire, including some cautionary tales about Botterham Staircase Locks.

Note that the weir is more of a kite shape.  These things really do look quite vicious.
