Hawley Lock is a lock on the Regent's Canal, in the London Borough of Camden.[1] It is likely called after the Hawley family who were prominent in Brentford and Boston Manor from the late 1500s onward.[citation needed] The Hawleys held the lease on Brentford market for nearly 200 years.[citation needed]
The lock was opened in 1820 and was originally a pair of locks.[1] One of the two locks was converted to a weir in the 1970s.[1] A lock keepers cottage was built alongside the lock in 1820 by Francis Read who charged £204.[1] Some time before 1850 the cottage was expanded and split into two.[1] The cottages suffered bomb damage during world war 2 and appear to have been demolished by 1952.[1]
