Canal enclosure walls to north, Bridge Street, Lower Weedon, Weedon Bec - West Northamptonshire (UA)
Early C19 structure part of an extraordinary Napoleonic military complex. Brickwork is in poor condition and vegetation growth is damaging. The whole site was underused for many years and was left in poor condition. It was sold in early 2013 and is now home to various businesses. The owner is considering further development. A condition survey of non-beneficial elements was carried out with Historic England grant aid c. 2015. Bastion repairs were identified as a priority. Historic England awarded funds for the repair of the north east bastion in 2021; work is due to complete in 2023.
