The Stort surveys are of little interest but are included for the sake of completeness.  Their chief value was to provide the sequence and dates of the rebuilding of the Stort locks by the Lee Conservancy.  One gets the impression that the surveys were probably a pleasant day out of the office, with little note being taken of the state of the Navigation.

There were, however, at least two detailed surveys carried out by the Lee Conservancy Board's engineers, at the request of the Board as a preparation of their possible  purchase of the Stort. The reports from the Surveys are shown on the individual lock pages.
