Lock keepers cottage, In Liberties, Droitwich.

 Huh
Does anyone know of any information re. the In Liberties canal area? I am especially keen to learn about where the lock keepers cottage was and if possible would like to obtain an old photo too.
My 2 x great grandfather was lock keeper there in the early 1870's.

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Treefan.

Hi
This is the area now known as The Vines.

Old Maps  map number 5 1930 is quite claer and does show the location of the lock.
so the lock keepres cottage is probably one of the buildings close by.

Last time i was there, there was a car park quite close by and you could walk out to where the lock and canal are.

Hi,
Thanks for that info, I didn't know that In Liberties was later called The Vines.
