Description
Gardham Lock and Swing Bridge is a lock and swing bridge made of red brick with gritstone dressings, featuring an iron swing bridge. The lock chamber has parallel sides that splay at each end beyond the gates. During restoration, the original wooden lock floor was removed and replaced with steel piles for the foundations. Between the gates, there is a manually operated swing bridge with an iron girder substructure and metal handrails. The curved recess for the bridge includes stone ridges along the top to provide purchase. The lock gates and the manual and hydraulic gearing mechanism have been restored to their traditional design.
