Stratford St Mary Lock Working Parties  

The restoration of this lock will open a further three miles of navigation along the River Stour. This follows the successful restoration of the locks at Flatford, Dedham and Cornard. We would like to thank Essex & Suffolk Water for their continued help and assistance with this project. If you are interested in joining the working parties at Stratford St Mary please note the following
  • A regular working party held on the third Saturday of each month.
  • Please be prepared to get wet and/or muddy.
  • Meet at the Essex & Suffolk Water pumping station near to the site at 9 am.
  • Remember a packed lunch, hard hat, gloves and overalls.
  • Tea and coffee makers would be most welcome - those doing the physical work need looking after too!
