Lock number 55, on the Chesterfield Canal, is locally known as “Charlie’s Lock” after the late Charlie Mitchell who was the keeper of the lock. You can read more about this interesting individual at The Chesterfield Canal Trust’s The Chesterfield Canal Trust’s website.
Based on a “Minimal List” YouTube video, “Charlie’s Lock” was a wonderful painting to create! Traveling simply has not been an option for most of us; and so, being able to let my mind wonder back to Britain was a wonderful experience. Painting each blade of grass … that, not so much!
Now you can travel to the canals and locks of Britain with a high-quality poster or enjoy a cup of tea in a beautiful mug and contemplate your next vacation!
