Description
The Lock Keeper's Office is an office building located at the west end of the fourth lock, likely built around 1816. It is constructed from coursed stone and features a slate roof with stone gable copings and a chimney at the rear gable. The building has a square single-cell plan and is built into a slope, making it one storey on the road (north) side and two storeys on the south side. The gabled front faces the bridge and includes a board door on the right, which is accessed by a stone step that is protected on two sides by iron railings with a ramped handrail. There is also a fixed window with four large panes in a plain stone case. On the south side, there is a boarded basement door with a large lintel, a small basement window, and a top-hung casement window above.
