Weston Lock, Lock and Grade II listed building in Locksbrook, Bath and North East Somerset, England.

Weston Lock functions as a part of the Kennet and Avon Canal system, managing water levels for vessel navigation through stone-built chambers and gates.

John Rennie constructed this lock between 1794 and 1810 as part of an engineering project connecting the River Avon to the River Thames.

The lock demonstrates early 19th-century canal engineering methods and remains an educational resource for understanding British industrial development.

The Canal and River Trust maintains this operational lock, which continues to regulate water levels for boats traveling between Bath and Bradford-on-Avon.

Each stone block in Weston Lock bears marks from original craftsmen, displaying construction techniques from the Georgian period of British architecture.
