Netham Lock, River lock in City of Bristol, United Kingdom
Netham Lock controls water flow between the River Avon and Bristol's Floating Harbour through a system of gates and a weir mechanism.
William Jessop designed the lock in 1804, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel later enhanced its engineering features to improve river navigation capabilities.
The grade II listed lock-keeper's cottage from the early nineteenth century represents the industrial maritime traditions of Bristol's waterway network.
Vessels passing through Netham Lock must not exceed 24.4 meters in length, 5.4 meters in beam, and 1.9 meters in draught.
The lock maintains open gates to supply water to City Docks and Graving Docks, operating primarily to manage flood surges and tide levels.
