Former Tidal Lock (Old River Lea)
Former Tidal Lock (Old River Lea) is on the Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Old River Lea) near to Bernigo.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Old River Lea) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Coventry Canal. In 1905 the Lisburn and Newbury Canal built a branch to join at Neath. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Restoration of Manworth Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Old River Lea) campaign

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 92 feet long and 20 feet wide (the maxium height and draught are unknown), but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 20 feet wide.
Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
