The lock was opened in 1820 and was originally a pair of locks.[1] One of the two locks was converted to a weir in the 1970s.[1] A lock keepers cottage was built alongside the lock in 1820 by Francis Read who charged £204.[1] Some time before 1850 the cottage was expanded and split into two.[1] The cottages suffered bomb damage during world war 2 and appear to have been demolished by 1952.[1]
