Keynsham Lock

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

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

    “Nae living man I’ll love again,
    Since that my lovely knight is slain.
    Wi ae lock of his yellow hair
    I’ll chain my heart for evermair.”
