Fences on the lock gates. How many?

Happy Fence Friday!!

There are 6 locks in this immediate flight, with another one in the distance.
I am standing by the gate of No 42.
Also visible are the gates of 41, 40, and 39. Numbers 38 and 37 are too low for the gates to be seen.
Number 36 is in the distance.
Therefore there are 6½ pairs of lock gates immediately visible, with another two pairs in the distance (but you probably can't see those on ipernity processed picture)

The complete flight comprises 21 locks. See canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/hatton-locks

Google maps and streetview show it very well.

Hi Peter,

Really I'm enjoying so much your point of view that allows me to look through the first lock gate without bending over :-) and start counting.... I would say seven, but I should first put on my glasses ..
original idea and brilliant composition on a wonderful sunny day.
Here it goes on raining...
Best wishes for a lovely weekend.
Bea.
