Stop Lock Bridge At The Junction Of Regents Canal And Hertford Union Canal

The Stop Lock Bridge is located at the junction of the Regent's Canal and the Hertford Union Canal and was built in 1830. It features a cast iron span made up of seven arched, moulded beams with latticed deck plates in between. The bridge is supported by brick abutments and has two tie-rods running through the span. While the three upper railings have been replaced, the adjoining walls show signs of reconstruction, although the wall to the north-west still has its heavy granite coping.

Historically, this bridge was constructed at the junction of the Regent's Canal, which opened in 1820, and the Hertford Union Canal, which opened in 1830. It carried the tow path for the Regent's Canal along its southern side, while the wider carriageway to the north served a commercial yard known as Victoria Wharf. The bridge is notable for its cast iron construction and serves as an important feature at this Late Georgian canal junction.
