Just upstream of Strensall Bridge which is shown in Image is the site of this former lock on the River Foss Navigation. Today the river makes a slight loop around the site of the lock which went out of use after the abandonment Act of 1859. It is marked on large scale maps by two lines. Residential developments in Strensall are seen in the background
