History
Constructed: 1895-1900
Lakefield was a thriving industrial centre with numerous mills and factories powered by an existing dam. An extensive canal entrance was required on the western bank of the river above the lock buttressed by a masonry retaining wall and a swing bridge for vehicle traffic. Today, Lakefield continues to thrive while retaining its small-town charm.
