Jesus Lock, Lock and footbridge near Jesus Green, Cambridge, England
Jesus Lock consists of a navigation gate system with wooden barriers and metal mechanisms that control water levels on the River Cam.
The lock was constructed in 1836 as the first lock on the navigable section of the River Cam, with its footbridge added in 1892.
The lock marks the beginning of the lower river section, which forms a central part of Cambridge rowing activities and water sports.
The lock serves as a crossing point between Chesterton Road and Jesus Green, with a metal-railed footbridge that requires cyclists to dismount.
The former lock-keeper's cottage next to the lock transformed from a single-story structure into student accommodation owned by River Cam Conservators.
