relief lock

Ely Ouse

Denver Complex

Norfolk

 

The most recent addition to the Denver Complex was a new Navigation Lock, completed in 2002, which now allows boats to navigate the Relief Channel to Downham Market. It is an aspiration that one day another lock will be incorporated into the Tail Sluice at the Kings Lynn end of the Relief Channel. This would enable craft to navigate safely to Kings Lynn and out into the Wash without using the Great Ouse Tidal River below Denver which has suffered so badly from silting in recent years.
