Description
English: The Warwick Bar stop lock and adjacent Banana Warehouse once owned by Geest in Digbeth, Birmingham, England. Grade II listed (217053).

The stop lock, or bar, is a physical barrier to prevent water loss (or theft) from one private canal to another, in this case the Digbeth branch of the Birmingham Canal Navigations and the Warwick and Birmingham Canal (now the Grand Union Canal). In this case the stop lock consists of two opposing lock gates at each end of a lock so that a boat could be transferred from one canal to the other with a miniscule amount of water loss, and no water flow, no matter which canal happened to be the higher at any particular time. Today the gates are chained open as both canals are under common control.

The curved brick wall behind the old Banana Warehouse is the back of the Fellows Morton and Clayton building (1935).
