Hanham Lock, River lock in Hanham, England
The lock structure allows vessels to navigate between different water levels on the River Avon, featuring a traditional stone construction with wooden gates.
Constructed between 1724 and 1727 as part of the Bristol Avon Navigation project, the lock enabled commercial transport of goods between Bristol and Bath.
The lock represents a significant example of early 18th-century engineering, with the superintendent's house now designated as a Grade II listed building.
Visitors can access multiple amenities near the lock, including seasonal bathrooms, drinking water stations, boat launching points, and parking facilities.
The river below the lock exhibits tidal patterns, with spring tides occasionally passing over the weir and affecting water levels up to Keynsham Lock.
