Cleeve Lock, Navigation lock on River Thames in Oxfordshire, England.
The lock measures 40.71 meters in length and 5.53 meters in width, managing water level changes of 0.89 meters on the River Thames.
Initially constructed in 1787, Cleeve Lock underwent substantial reconstruction in 1874 to accommodate increased river traffic and modernize its operational capabilities.
Jerome K. Jerome mentioned Cleeve Lock in his book 'Three Men in a Boat,' incorporating the location into English river navigation literature.
The lock operates with a hydraulic system and stands at the beginning of the longest stretch of the non-tidal River Thames, extending six miles upstream.
Before 1869, a single keeper managed both Cleeve Lock and Goring Lock, demonstrating the historical efficiency of Thames lock operations.
