the lock-keeper and boy

Roger Burnettes sculpture of the lock-keeper and boy which stands alongside the Rochdale canalat Sowerby Bridge.
Bronze statue of Richard Tiffany pushing backwards against a lock gate arm, portrayed in typical working gear with boots and an old jacket. He is also wearing a cravat and on his head he is wearing a traditional Yorkshire style cloth cap. He is holding a lock key in his hand, a vital tool for a lock keeper (part of its shaft has broken off). Next to him is a small boy helping him out and pushing with his hands on the lock arm, the boy is wearing a short sleeved shirt, shorts held up by braces and long socks which are starting to roll down to his ankles.
