Roydon Lower Lock No 15

 
Rye House Kart Circuit, East Hertfordshire EN11 0EW, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 439 yards away.
 

Roydon Lower Lock No 15 is one of a group of locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 five kilometres from St Albans.

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.

Information about the place
Roydon Lower Lock No 15 is a minor waterways place on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) between Rye House Junction (Junction of Rivers Stort and Lee) (3 furlongs to the southwest) and Roydon Marina Entrance (Entrance to Roydon Marina) (1¾ furlongs to the east).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Rye House Junction is Towpath Side Bridge No 2; 1¾ furlongs away.

There may be access to the towpath here.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Reasonable mooring below the lock.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

This is a lock with a rise of 3 feet and 9 inches.
