Aqueduct Lock, Navigation lock in River Lee Country Park, England
The Aqueduct Lock extends 85 feet in length and 16 feet in width, featuring a water level drop of 4 feet 10 inches on the River Lee Navigation.
Built in 1768 by Mr. Cooper, the lock was constructed to maintain water flow to Cheshunt Mill, which later became part of the Royal Gunpowder Mills complex.
The lock forms part of the Lea Valley Walk, connecting communities along the waterway while preserving industrial heritage of the River Lee Navigation system.
The manually operated lock remains accessible through Windmill Lane in Cheshunt, with Cheshunt railway station providing transportation links for visitors.
The Powdermill Cut, created in 1806 at the tail of the lock, connected the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills directly to the navigation channel.
