  River Stort - Bishop's Stortford and Thorley - A History and Guide
Gilbey, always a benevolent man, kept the Navigation open for the next seven years purely for the benefit of the town, but by 1900 even his vast resources could no longer afford to sustain it and he entered into protracted negotiations with the Lea Conservancy Board with a view to sell.
Work began to improve the Navigation in 1912 by dredging it throughout and reconstructing all of the wooden locks in concrete, but the First World War (1914–18) intervened and it remained unused until the work was completed after the war.
Control of the River Stort passed to the British Transport Commission, and when this was disbanded in 1962 it came under the control of the British Waterways Board.
