Beside the lock is the old lock keeper's cottage.

The Water Rail Way passes across the bridge to the right - a 33 mile foot and cycle route connecting Boston and Lincoln.

Local signage states :- 

"Anton's Gowt is the gateway to the Witham Navigable Drains - a network of channels dug in the 1600s which criss-cross the fens north of Boston.

The word 'gowt' means the outlet of a drain or watercourse.

Anton's Gowt is named after Sir Anthony Thomas, an entrepreneur who financed a scheme of local drainage improvements in the 1630s"
