Chertsey Lock

Chertsey Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England, on the northern Middlesex bank near Chertsey (which is on the opposite side of the river) in north-west Surrey. The lock is about 200 yards upstream of the picturesque Chertsey Bridge. It was first built by the City of London Corporation in 1813.

The lock adjoins a small thin island connecting to Chertsey Weir, which is not pedestrianised.

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

    and wife or husband
    who does not lock the door of the marriage
    against you, finds you
    not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
    the light of the moon on flesh and hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
