Antique lock ID (pre 1900's with photos)

[SnowyBoy]

Acquired this lock through a friend and can't find out anything about it :/

A few suggestions were that it has something to do with coal trucks/trains, possibly a prison cell? I don't know..... any info is appreciated

i have no clue what your lock is, and can't see it was honestly just wanting to see what it looked like, but it tells me domain unregistered and to go somewhere and register to see it. any chance i could get a photobucket link? please?

Iiinteresting.... I looked up "limehouse lock" well, yeah... lots of stuff about a canal in Britain.

Tried "limehouse lock -basin -ship -london -thames -british -canal" and I STILL get that $@$%#!!! canal....

I'd be interested to see what this lock is about.

I've got a friend who deals with railway locks, hopefully he will be able to tell me something about it.

Just having 'canal' as a keyword is a good start.... could be a boat lock?

If I had to guess, the W stands for William. So William Pace (senr - senior?).

Sorry... I can't find anything, either. I'm assuming that the "Limehouse" mark refers to the borough of London, and the "Senr" is almost certainly "Senior"... but I can't find any reference to any (William/Walter/Wallace/...) Pace, Sr. from anywhere near London at that time, nor any reference to a B. & F. W. Co. that would have been operating in the area.

Any chance of getting a better shot of the logos on either side of the keyway?
