Stanstead Lock, River lock in Hertfordshire, England
The lock incorporates specific mechanical features, including a swing bridge and an automatic sluice gate connected to the River Lee Flood Relief Channel.
Stanstead Lock No 4 was constructed as a replacement for an earlier flash-lock system, improving water level management on the River Lee Navigation.
The lock forms part of the Canal & River Trust network, connecting the waterways near Stanstead Abbotts and St Margarets villages in Hertfordshire.
Located 21.5 miles from Bow Creek, the lock measures 85 feet in length and 16 feet in width, with a water level difference of 8 feet 4 inches.
The lock keeper's house stands on an island created by the River Lee Flood Relief Channel, while the lock maintains water levels for navigation.
