Hartham Weir (also known colloquially as Two-step Weir) is a small weir on the River Lea next to the confluence of the River Beane/Lea, on the edge of Hartham Common, Hertford, England.
Design
The weir was installed to let the river travel over a main sewer pipe.
Uses
It is frequented by the Herts Canoe Club and local anglers.[1]
2008 rebuild
The weir was demolished and rebuilt in 2008, costing £310,000.[2]
