Pickett's Lock (lock)
Pickett's Lock (No 15) is a lock on the River Lee Navigation in the London Borough of Enfield, England and is located near Edmonton, London. It gives its name to the surrounding area of Picketts Lock. In common with other locks as far as Ponder's End Lock it is large enough to take barges of up to 130 tons. However it has not been upgraded to power operation and so it must be manually operated. It has gate paddles but these do not have gate baffles to mitigate the rush of water into the lock.
== Etymology ==
Picketts Lock was marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1877, that is 'lock associated with the ''Picot'' or ''Pickett'' family'. ''Picketts feld ''(1669) located nearby is also named from this family, who take their surname from one ''Picot de Marisco'' ('of the marsh') recorded locally in the 13th century.〔Mills, A, D, ''Oxford Dictionary of London Place Names'' (2001) p178 ISBN 0-19-860957-4 Retrieved 19 October 2008〕
