Here's the Lock Keepers Cottage at Foxton Locks. On the door to the cottage there is a little sign that says something along the lines of 'Don't ask for the Lock Keeper, he don't live here. This is a private building.'

Had a wonderful time at Foxton Locks here in rural Leicestershire. Fame for its inclined plane with multi level canal locks to navigate. There is the Foxton Lock Inn and the Boat House at the lower end basin 'Foxton Bottom Lock', rising up through the lock system is the Foxton Canal Museum and Boiler House, continuing on up to the Tea Room at 'Foxton Top Lock'.
Staff and volunteers are friendly and informative. Soon after my arrival when I was setting up, some told me when the next narrow boat(s) were due and some good viewing areas. I really appreciated that.
If you get chance to visit, I would thoroughly recommend it :)

Visited Foxton Locks over in Leicestershire. Here are what's called the Basins, lower end of the locks as the name implies. It's art of the wider canal network, Grand Union Canal. There has been little change to the area and this Grade II Listed Building over its lifetime.
