Description
Paper Mill Lock, including lock gates, is located on the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation and dates from around 1797. It was engineered by 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. Two mills were situated next to the lock: one for grinding corn and the other for making paper, which is how the lock got its name. It is one of the original twelve locks on this navigation.
