Hampstead Road Locks Nos 1A & 1B 
Hampstead Road Locks Nos 1A & 1B is one of a group of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) near to Elmbridge.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). no mooring.
This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet.

your favour.
Information from Tony Bowyer, 19-6-2008
It's
called "Hampstead Road" lock because the road here used to
be called that until being renamed to Chalk Farm Road.
