Bevere Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the River Severn (main river - Stourport to Worcester) .
Early plans for the River Severn (main river - Stourport to Worcester) between London and Longbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as managing director in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Mancorn. Expectations for limestone traffic to Newford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Port Talbot to Sandwell prevented closure. In his autobiography John Green writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet and 1 inch.

![Bevere Lock on the River Severn #7, Worcestershire. About three miles north of Worcester, and looking north.The locks on the River Severn are operated electrically by the lock keepers, who rarely keep boat crews waiting very long. The light is now green, and the gates are fully open, so two narrowboats will be entering the chamber in order to proceed upstream. [[2305122]]Wherever possible more than one boat will be accommodated each time the lock is used, though unlike on the canals, water usage is not an issue.From Worcester to Stourport the maximum boat size accommodated by the locks is 90 feet (27. metres) length and 19 feet (58 metres) beam. Licences are checked and boat movements recorded. by Roger D Kidd – 20 August 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/30/51/2305134_3ce6d1a8_120x120.jpg)










![Milestone, Bevere Lock, River Severn. Just South of the lower gates of the lock (pronounced Bervery). In its present position, it would be impossible to read the inscription from most boats due to the height of the bank, and the distance. Set in the hedge.In 1842 the Severn Commission was set up to improve the navigation between Gloucester and Stourport. It also creates a navigable linkage between the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and the Staffs & Worcs Canal. A similar Severn mile peg can be seen on [[7132042]].Inscription: to Stourport / 9 / MilesMilestone Society National ID: SEV-09 by Mr Red – 29 April 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/16/72/7167223_0368265b_120x120.jpg)
