Abstract: |
The Old Ford Locks are located on the River Lea Navigation, just north of the waterway's confluence with the River Lea. They are part of an area of historic interest that features a relatively intact fragment of a Late Victorian and Edwardian industrial estate. The locks are largely brick built and date from the mid to late 19th century. They retain fittings related to previous phases of use, such as the remains of floodgates and of gate-opening mechanisms pre-dating the current electric system. The locks were recorded by photosurvey. |
