Molesey Lock, River lock in East Molesey, England
Molesey Lock stretches 81.78 meters along the River Thames, making it the second longest lock on the waterway with upstream moorings for small boats.
The City of London Corporation constructed the lock in 1815, with subsequent rebuilding by the Thames Conservancy in 1906 to meet increasing river traffic demands.
The lock's location near Hampton Court Palace and Edwin Lutyens-designed bridge creates a connection between maritime infrastructure and British architectural heritage.
Access to the lock is available through the A3050 road, with dedicated footpaths leading to the site and contact possibilities at 02089 794 482.
The lock features a metal sculpture called the Eights Tree outside Molesey Boat Club and includes rollers for small boat transportation.
