Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Bow Locks. They can only be used near high tide, as if the tide is too low, Bow Creek (seen beyond the locks) would not be navigable.
  • The locks are useful only for:
(a) craft using Bow Creek to and from the Thames and requiring access to the Lee Navigation
(b) craft to or from Limehouse Cut wishing to access Abbey Creek, (unlikely!).
  • If the high tide is just right, the gates at both ends can be opened allowing craft to pass freely through without stopping! These locks see little use nowadays as compared with past years. There is now no access this way to Bow Back Rivers, as Three Mills Sluice is not now navigable.
