Description

The structure consists of lock gates and paddle gear, classified as Grade II. It features masonry quaysides leading to the lock chamber, which are connected to the towpath beneath bridge 95. There is a single lock gate on the east side and double gates on the west side, equipped with vertical ironwork sluice gear. On the north side, near the overbridge, there is a set of Buck's patented paddle gear set within a stonework surround. This includes a pyramidal flanged ironwork frame with arched braces and rear brackets for a winding handle. Additionally, there is a toothed drive-wheel with a V-shaped pivoting arm that connects to the sluices in the lock floor. To the west of the lock gates, the masonry quaysides terminate in vertical brick-faced revetments.
