Lock keeper's cottage at Vale Royal Locks, Historic lock keeper residence in Davenham, United Kingdom
The Vale Royal lock keeper cottage features red sandstone walls and a slate roof, with lateral cross windows in both right and left recessed sections.
Built in 1850, the structure was relocated approximately 20 yards northward in 1890 to accommodate the construction of a new large lock.
The first-floor windows display chamfered mullions and transoms, with the Delamere coat of arms adorning the gable of the main facade.
The location along the Weaver Navigation system enables visitors to observe lock operations and boat passages through the waterway.
The central porch incorporates a four-centered arched door with hood molding, exemplifying Victorian architectural design of the 19th century.
