water Newton lock on the river Nene - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

This lock has electric operation on the guillotine gate.
Water Newton is situated beside the Nene to the west of Peterborough. Partly within the parish is the site of the Roman town of Durobivae sited where Ermine Street crossed the Nene. It started as a settlement serving a fort, but grew into an important regional capital. Town walls were built in the second century and the town was intensively occupied and often re-built.
Water Newton had an 18th Century watermill and lock-keeper's cottage now converted into private dwellings.
