Stewpony Lock

United Kingdom / England / Stourbridge /

lock (water navigation), interesting place

The keeper of the inn (now demolished) that stood near this lock was married to a woman from Estapona in Spain. A combination of boatman slang and the local black country accent gradually corrupted this to Stewpony, a name that has survived to this day.
