Harlow Lock No 8 
Cambridge Road (A1184)
Harlow Lock No 8 is one of some locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Elmbridge.
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. close to two decent restaurants!.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 8f9.
