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:
“then take off your flesh,
unpick the lock of your bones.
In other words
take off the wall
that separates you from God.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
