Love Locks

Cathy Read Art Stand: 634

In real life you have to crouch to see this view. The railings of the bridge come to about elbow height, enough to stop anyone inadvertently falling into the canal below. You’ll find it on Oxford Road where it crosses over the Rochdale Canal.

Each lock tells a story. Maybe you know it? More likely not. Stories of love, stories of loss, perhaps.
When did Love Locks became a thing?

The earliest reports of Love Locks are from Serbia in World War 1.
