Bull's Lock, Canal lock in Newbury, Great Britain
Bull's Lock functions as a water management structure on the Kennet and Avon Canal, controlling water levels for boat navigation through Berkshire.
Engineer John Hore from Newbury supervised the construction of Bull's Lock between 1718 and 1723 as part of the regional canal development plan.
The lock represents a connection point between the River Kennet and the canal system, demonstrating early industrial engineering methods from the 18th century.
The lock structure accommodates boats with a vertical displacement of 5 feet 9 inches, enabling vessels to navigate between different water levels.
Located at coordinates 51.3971° N and -1.28413° W, Bull's Lock connects directly to Ham Lock downstream and the River Kennet upstream.
