Lock Keeper's Cottage, Stratford near Olympic Park
A cottage on the island between Bow Back River and Waterworks River close to the Olympic Park. Both rivers are tributaries of the River Lea. Just visible behind the trees to the right of the cottage is the top part of the ArcelorMittal Orbit structure on the Olympic Park.

Operating panel, lower gates, City Mill Lock
City Mill Lock lowers vessels from the City Mill River (left) to the Waterworks River (right). The double set of lower lock gates, facing in opposite directions, indicate that sometimes the tide might raise the water level to the right higher than that on the left; on those occasions the right-hand gates will close to keep the water out. Because there are no corresponding gates at the upper end of the lock, navigation through the lock will not be possible at those times.

City Mill Lock
The lock links the City Mill river (beyond it) with the Waterworks River (near side). I have not seen this double-gate arrangement before with gates facing both ways. I presume it is because the level difference in the rivers can work either way, the City Mill River being tidal.

Sluice gates to City Mill River
The sluice seems to be designed as a bypass to the City Mill Lock Image The plaque is that of Ransomes and Rapier of Norwich, dated 1888. It is not clear whether these manually operated sluices are still in working order.
