Shiplake Lock
Lock on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England
About
Shiplake Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames in England between the villages of Shiplake and Lower Shiplake, Oxfordshire. It is just above the points where the River Loddon joins the Thames and Shiplake Railway Bridge crosses the river. The first pound lock was built by the Thames Navigation Commission in 1773.
The weir is some distance upstream of the lock between the lock island and Berkshire bank.
