Hertford Lock No 1
Hertford Car Care Centre, Mead Business Centre, East Hertfordshire SG13 7BJ, United Kingdom
Hertford Lock No 1 is one of some locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
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.
