We visit Chester on the Shropshire Union Canal by narrowboat and explain how to work a canal staircase lock. We need to climb out of the city using the Northgate Locks, a three-rise staircase lock raising us over 32 feet from Telford's Warehouse at Tower Wharf to the city centre.
Colin uncovers the story of the collapsing water tower, the lock-keeper's cottage with an unusual sewerage system, and a rare lengthsman's hovel by the cricket pitch.
For viewers expecting a tour of the National Waterways Museum...
Due to medical reasons we had to leave the museum before we had a chance to film. Colin will explain more in a couple of weeks, but we will definitely return to film there soon.

We rented a narrowboat at Gayton, and when we reached Buckby Locks, there were the AMAZING lock keepers who looked at us and said "well, could we help you today" and they were beyond marvelous. They explained everything the video the rental company gave us and showed us what really to do. We sent a donation to the C&RT in their honor.

I love Colin's Chronicle Corner! Great stories about the history, geography, culture and people along the canals. I'm really into the architecture and engineering of the Industrial Revolution period. Especially when they come together in a canal. Just looking through a camera or watching a video it's hard sometimes to know what I'm looking at. Then comes Colin's Chronicles to make it that much more interesting. Chester looks lovely and those stories were good ones! Water towers, locks, warehouses, Roman walls, motes, King Charles Tower, guard house, cottages, sluices, sewage, and swimming pools!

Hello, Michael, from the good-old USA. I just realized that, I have been watching your videos for, well since Moses wore short pants. Being an American, born and raised here, but having watched yours and other narrow boat videos. I found these words flowing from my mouth, "Bloody Hell, I've not signed on." Then I did what Americans do best, that is of late, I fixed myself a drink. Take care. You guys remind me of, laurel and Hardy. Stay safe, your videos remind me of being stationed in Europe in 1975, I enjoyed my time there. Later.

Always enjoy your humour alongside the commentary regarding where you lads are and captivating detail. Thanks! Also, my very old little dog, called Gracie. Sits and watches for Otis. I wish he were featured in your vlog more frequently.

Another great Vlog, guys. I want to give a shout-out from the US to Chris!!! You're a good guy for what you're doing and I see even have your personal customized "wrench" for managing the gates. Colin, at one point it looked like a guy running along with a camera and tripod maybe??? Was that you? Anyway, keep up what you're doing and I really enjoy you showcasing folks along the way and the businesses and points of interest, too. Oh, I listened to your Podcast while walking this morning. It was really interesting (#3) and I'll be listening to more.

Hey guys. When the people were using the sewage laden swimming pool back in the day, did they actually swim in it or were they just, "going through the motions"??????? Sorry!
