Hartham Weir (also known colloquially as Two-step Weir) is a small weir on the River Lea next to the confluence of the River Beane/Lea, on the edge of Hartham Common, Hertford, England.
Design[edit]
The weir was installed to let the river travel over a main sewer pipe.
Uses[edit]
It is frequented by the Herts Canoe Club and local anglers.[1]
2008 rebuild[edit]
The weir was demolished and rebuilt in 2008, costing £310,000.[2]
Local MP Mark Prisk and Herts Canoe Club re-opened the weir in a ceremony on Saturday, 25 October 2008.[3]
