Hertford Lock, Navigation lock in Hertford, England
Located on the eastern side of Hartham Common, Hertford Lock features manual operation mechanisms with a length of 85 feet and width of 16 feet.
The lock stands as the first structure on the River Lee Navigation, marking the beginning of a 26-mile waterway that has facilitated trade since medieval times.
The lock and its keeper's cottage represent traditional British waterway engineering, forming part of the extensive Lea Valley Walk recreational route system.
The Canal & River Trust manages this lock with a fall of 7 feet 11 inches, allowing boats to navigate between different water levels on the River Lea.
From this lock, boaters can measure their progress along the navigation system, with exactly 42.3 kilometers remaining until reaching Bow Creek.
