Bratch Locks were planned and built by James Brindley back in 1772. He constructed two bridges, a toll house and lock keeper’s cottage, all built in mellow brick, making it a favourite photogenic and artistic spot. The entire area forms one of the prettiest groups of canal buildings on any canal system anywhere.
