Roydon Lock No 13 is one of some locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line); it has a rise of only a few inches just past the junction with The Middle Level Navigations.
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 tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
Facilities: diesel for sale, gas for sale, coal for sale, showers, toilets, water point and laundrette.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 7f0.

![Pre-Worboys level crossing sign, Roydon. I discovered the other one of these here, so have taken its partner for completion. This is a very unusual sign as the research I've done tells me it's not a standard national version, as uses Gill Sans bold font, rather than MOT or earlier national fonts. The reason for this being although these signs were usually made to the national standard, these use the font used by British Rail on their signs until 1965. This would have been made before 1963 as the design was superseded by the modern red triangle with the details and lightning bolt inside as per [[[2794692]]] on the crossing on the main road here.The signs are mandatory on level crossings with overhead power cables. by David Howard – 07 February 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/79/79/2797951_cccd6e76_120x120.jpg)
