Marsh Lock, River lock and weir in Berkshire, England

The lock structure spans 41.19 meters in length and 6.42 meters in width, forming an essential component of the River Thames navigation system.

Records from the early 1400s indicate the presence of a flash lock at this location, which was later replaced by a pound lock in 1773.

The lock witnessed extensive commercial activity during the 17th and 18th centuries, with barges transporting wool, timber, grain, and malt to London.

The telephone number for lock operations and inquiries is +44 (0)3708 506 506, with the facility located at postal code RG9 4HB.

The lock features a long wooden bridge connecting the Oxfordshire bank to the lock island, making it the only such configuration on the River Thames.
