Description
Langford Lock and Lock Gates, located off Hatfield Road in Langford, were built around 1797. The engineer responsible for the design was John Rennie, with supervision by Richard Coates. The structure is made 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. There are four cast iron bollards on each towpath. This lock is crossed by Langford Bridge and is one of the original twelve locks, which includes a sea lock at Heybridge Basin.
