A steel ladder inset into the side of a drained lock chamber. The top two steps and grab handles are painted white. Below the waterline (when the lock is filled with water), the lower rungs are black. The stones are hand hewn: they differ in width and some rows doffer in height (thickness). There are a few green plants growing on the wall.
