Carthagena Lock, River lock in Broxbourne, England
Carthagena Lock controls water flow on the River Lee Navigation with a chamber measuring 85 feet long and 16 feet wide at a fall of 5 feet.
The lock emerged as a crucial part of the River Lee Navigation system in the 19th century, enabling commercial transportation between London and Hertfordshire.
The lock stands as part of the Lea Valley Walk, connecting walkers and cyclists to the natural heritage of Hertfordshire's waterways.
Visitors can access the lock via B194 Nazeing New Road by car or through the riverside towpath, with Broxbourne railway station nearby.
The lock features two associated lakes and a section of the Old River Lea, creating a water management system for the surrounding flood relief channel.
