Lock 2 (Scotland Lock), Woodham. 1980's
It looks as though the cill is at the far end of the lock, so this is looking west. The towpath is on the left of the photo, so the south of the canal. That makes this Deepcut or Woodham flight. There is a lock numbering stone visible on the left hand wall, but it does not appear to have the number painted on it. There are pictures in the BCS Archives of Lock 2 which look very similar. The shape of the cement on the coping stone on the left entrance, the stonework on the right, the blue bricked bywash outflow, and the four courses of brick above the numbering stone all suggest Lock 2. The building to the right is a pump out building for houseboats, some of which might be just visible beyond the lock on the right hand side.Lock 2 (Scotland Lock), Woodham. 1980's

Woking. Parley Drive Bridge (also known as Goldsworth Park Bridge). Late 1980s
The canal is being dry-dredged, which suggests it is the Woking end of the canal. The tow path is on the north side of the canal in Woking, so this would be looking west. The bridge is at a slight angle to the canal, so could be Skew Bridge or Parley Drive Bridge. Skew Bridge is at a sharper angle than this, whereas the concrete planking of the bridge lintels suggests Parley Drive Bridge.

Most likely Lock 8 in St. Johns flight, but possibly in the Brookwood flight. Late 1980s
The cill is at the near end of the lock, and the lock bridge is at the far end. That means we are looking east, so the tow path is on the north side. That means it is either St John's flight or Brookwood flight. Lock 8 has coping stones and a mooring bollard similar to this picture, so is the most likely.Most likely Lock 8 in St. Johns flight, but possibly in the Brookwood flight. Late 1980s
