Hamsey toll lock
Hamsey toll lock was the first lock on the Ouse Navigation and the men in charge of the barges would pay the toll here as there was a toll house present. In 1926 Harold Cannings was living in the cottage and told of the horrendous floods that occured there.
This is a view looking north to where the Navigation started. The river curves away to the right and the cut (Mighells cut) runs to the left of the pylon.
Looking south you can clearly see where the lock was, no trace remains.
This bridge at Hamsey is over 200 years old as the cut was completed around 1790
