Brentford Basin - sluices
These would be used to adjust the flow of water to maintain an even level in the reach, depending on the combination of river flow and the number of craft passing the locks.

The entrance to the Office seen in Image Nicely maintained, I am not clear whether the glass is original or a modern replacement.

Brentford Basin - overflow weir
There was clearly only a low flow of water in the River Brent, so despite there being no traffic through the locks, the water level was able to be maintained just below the overflow level. Waterfowl are keeping their feet dry!

Brentford Gauging Locks
Lockkeeper's booth and footbridge. The latter was basically to enable the lockeepers to move around freely without having to worry as to which gates were open or shut.

Brentford Gauging Locks
The top gates with the Toll Office in the background. Craft would be gauged while passing through the lock to assess the toll on their cargo. At some point in its life each boat would have its freeboard measured with known weights of load. This would then allow a full and empty entry to be made in a register; on subsequent visits a measurement of freeboard would enable the weight of cargo on that run to be calculated.
