Wikipedia has a page about Farmers Bridge Lock
A farmer (also called an agriculturer) is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials. The term usually applies to people who do some combination of raising field crops, orchards, vineyards, poultry, or other livestock. A farmer might own the farmed land or might work as a laborer on land owned by others, but in advanced economies, a farmer is usually a farm owner, while employees of the farm are known as farm workers, or farmhands. However, in the not so distant past, a farmer was a person who promotes or improves the growth of (a plant, crop, etc.) by labor and attention, land or crops or raises animals (as livestock or fish).
Over 1/2 billion farmers are smallholders, most of whom are in developing countries, and who economically support almost two billion people. Globally, women constitute more than 40% of agricultural employees.






![Canalside, Islington Gates. Islington Gates is a new development of flats / apartments between Fleet Street and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. They have been built over the side pounds of the Farmers Bridge flight of locks. When locks are close together, like these, side pounds [or wider sections of water] are needed to work the locks efficiently. by Christine Johnstone – 16 May 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/95/39/2953983_68ff1d98_120x120.jpg)
