Keynsham Lock

Keynsham Lock (grid reference ST658690) is situated on the River Avon at Keynsham, England.

The lock opened in 1727.

Just above the lock are some visitor moorings and a pub, on an island between the lock and the weir. The weir side of the island is also the mouth of the River Chew.

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

    “Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,—these eat up the hours.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
