Description
Sandford Lock, including lock gates, is located on the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation and dates from around 1797. The engineer was John Rennie, with supervision by Richard Coates. The structure is built of red brick in English bond and features large granite coping stones and quoins. The wooden lock gates are equipped with iron hooks, chains, and winding gear. To the south of the lock stood Sandford Mill, which was used to grind waterborne wheat. This lock is one of the original twelve locks on the navigation.
