Tyle Mill Lock, Canal lock in Sulhamstead, England.
The Kennet and Avon Canal lock in Sulhamstead features a level change of 6 feet 4 inches with wooden landing jetties spaced every 5 meters.
Engineer John Hore from Newbury supervised the construction of Tyle Mill Lock between 1718 and 1723 as part of the Kennet Navigation system.
The lock sits within a network of waterways that connects Reading to the broader canal system, supporting both commercial and recreational water transport.
The mooring facilities accommodate up to 11 boats across two areas, with access to drinking water, waste disposal, and toilet facilities near the lock.
During the 1950s, the lock marked the head of navigation from the River Thames before undergoing complete restoration works that finished in 1973.
