(A user of Pearson Canal Companions on discovering the omission reported "Had to phone BW who kindly brought us one and did not charge more than the normal £5 for doing so.")
Curdworth Top Lock N97#3p33 N2k#3p33 N03#3p39: The lock has been moved 200 yards nearer the tunnel to allow for the building of a new large bridge.

The water point is still at its old location.

Love Lane Bridge N97#3p30 N2k#3p30 N03#3p36: There is a petrol station by the bridge and towpath and offside pontoon moorings between the bridge and Aston Junction.
