Description
The lock and lock gates, located approximately 200 metres west of Langford Lock on the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, were built around 1797. They were designed by chief engineer John Rennie, with supervision by Richard Coates. The structure is made of red brick in English bond, featuring large granite coping stones and quoins. The wooden gates are operated by cast iron winding gear, and there are four circular cast iron bollards on each side of the towpath.
