Rushey Lock, Lock and footbridge on River Thames in Oxfordshire, England.
The lock spans 34.59 meters in length and 4.59 meters in width, featuring manually operated beams that control the pound lock gates.
The Thames Navigation Commission constructed the stone lock in 1790, replacing an earlier structure known as Old Nan's Weir located upstream.
The lock maintains a traditional paddle and rymer weir system that dates back to thirteenth-century engineering methods on the River Thames.
Visitors access the lock through a road from Tadpole Bridge downstream, with contact available at +44 (0)3708 506 506 or postcode SN7 8RF.
The lock keeper's house, constructed in 1894, includes a garden with a large topiary frog that captures photographers' attention.
