Unstead Lock lies on the Godalming Navigation at Peasmarsh, between
Guildford and Godalming[1].
In 1760 an Act of Parliament was passed so that the Wey navigation
could be extended from Guildford to Godalming and this stretch
of waterway was opened in 1764. It is now managed by the
National Trust.
The view is looking towards Guildford with water meadows on
the right and the site of the former flour mill - Unstead Mill
- to the left behind the camera. |
