Hartham Weir (also known colloquially as Two-step Weir) is a small weir on the River Lea next to 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 commonly frequented by Herts Canoe Club and local anglers.

2008 rebuild

The weir was demolished and rebuilt in 2008, due to erosion and wear on the old structure.

Local MP, Mark Prisk and Herts Canoe Club re-opened the weir in a ceremony on Saturday, 25 October 2008.[1]
