I would hazard a guess that you are the first to think of it and the
if anyone else has it will Richard Fairhurst and possibly Gervase
Markham, (not sure if he is still active?).<br>

Looking a Bingley Five Rise, in 2008 I (cyclist with very amateur
interest in industrial heritage), mapped the the lock gates
themselves. In 2011, <a

with an interest in man-made waterways thought to think of the locks
themselves, creating canal way segments with lock=yes. At that is as
far as it has gone.<br>

Looks like a job for a relation? [Slight shudder and exits stage

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I can't find any advice on how to tag a staircase lock - a series of
locks directly linked to each other. The individual locks themselves are
mapped - described in the wiki at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lock">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lock</a> but the group together
doesn't seem to have any standard. Or am I missing something (again!).
I found a couple of examples, e.g. Tyrley Locks at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5151165013">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5151165013</a> where the name is included
as a place=locality
Is this the accepted standard? There's a huge list for England at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.photographers-resource.co.uk/A_heritage/canals/Lists/lock_flights.htm">http://www.photographers-resource.co.uk/A_heritage/canals/Lists/lock_flights.htm</a>
but I don't think they all qualify as staircases. Anything over about 5
locks is likely to be very spread out and not directly connected one
lock to the next.
