Dobbs Weir Lock No 6
Dobbs Weir Lock No 6 is one of some locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee); it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Expectations for iron traffic to Northcorn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Cecil Wood made a model of Runton Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Barbury Aqueduct.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet and 1 inch.
