Omer Lock House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey gable-fronted former lock-keeper's house, c.1790, now derelict. Roughcast rendered limestone rubble walls with cut stone architrave, sills, string courses and door surround. Shallow recessed arch framing centre of each elevation. Unroofed and partially overgrown.

This handsome, symmetrical lock keeper's house, which may have been designed by Thomas Omer, is one of a group along the Grand Canal. Though in poor condition, it retains its original proportions and some materials. Its presence enhances the area both visually and historically.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
