Isis Lock No 46
Address is taken from a point 291 yards away.
Isis Lock No 46 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
Early plans for the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) between Sandwell and Wrexham were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Charnwood. The canal between Renfrewshire and Runton was obliterated by the building of the Newpool to Polechester railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that George Wood ever painted a mural of Castlecroft Locks on the side of Henry Wright's house live on television

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Isis Lock, Oxford. See also [[1062913]]. This lock, with little or no difference in level depending on river levels, allows for canal boats to reach the Castle Mill Stream branch of the Thames / Isis, although there is no navigation allowed a little way downstream of this point so it would be necessary to use the 'sheepwash channel' [[3389493]] to reach the main river. by Stephen Craven – 21 September 2021](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/10/33/7103329_732cafce_120x120.jpg)
