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:

    “There warn’t anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn’t any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summertime because it’s cool. If you notice, most folks don’t go to church only when they’ve got to; but a hog is different.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
