Abstract: |
The Old Ford Lock House is located on the River Lea Navigation, just north of the waterway's confluence with the River Lea. The present house is a two-storey building, with a hipped roof, it was constructed during the 1940s after Old Ford Lock was bombed in the early part of The Second World War. The house has been heavily altered in recent times by Channel 4 productions for their Big Breakfast show. The most striking alteration, being the painted exterior cement render, which imitates a red brick Flemish bond pattern with white mortar. The original windows and doorways have been removed and replaced with modern ones. The roof has retained the original hipped design, but, due to an arson attack during the late 1990s has been replaced and had skylights inserted. The small building south west of the house is currently used for both storage and public W.C.s. and was originally towpath stables. The exterior of which has been altered by the addition of a modern window and doorway, yellow stock bricks were used for the construction of the building. The house has been heavily altered by Channel 4 production for their Big Breakfast show and a later fire which destroyed most of the upper storeys.The house was recorded by photosurvey. |
