Paper Mill Lock is the half way point in the journey along the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation from Chelmsford to the coast. The entire navigation has twelve locks and six bridges all dating from the 1790’s. It was completed in 1797 and enabled goods, mostly coal, bricks and timber, to be carried by barge instead of horse drawn wagons from the sea to Chelmsford.
There is an old millstream leading off that creates two islands. In 1792 two mills stood on the lower island, one grinding mica as part of the paper making process (hence the name Paper Mill Lock) and the other corn. On the upper island stood a small brick building (now the office of The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Company) that was a bothy* complete with bunks for bargees to stay overnight. Opposite this next to the towpath, are the former stables for the horses. Upstream you can see the old clapper gates designed for containing livestock.
The lock chambers were built to a larger specification than on most other canals, thus enabling broader barges requiring only around two feet to navigate the numerous shallows. The balance beams and gates where made on site from locally grown oak and elm.
Today this attractive site is popular with anglers, boaters and walkers and is a base for pleasure boat trips. From here you can follow the towpath, which is a public right of way, to Chelmsford or Heybridge Basin.
*A bothy is a basic shelter, usually left unlocked and available for anyone to use free of charge. It was also a term for basic accommodation, usually for gardeners or other workers on an estate. Bothies are to be found in remote, mountainous areas of Scotland, northern England, Ireland, and Wales.
