Weir Brake Lock 

 
Also known as: Gordon Gray Lock
Gordon Gray Lock, Stratford Greenway, Stratford-on-Avon CV37 9LY, United Kingdom
 

Weir Brake Lock is one of some locks on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Reigate and Erewash.

Early plans of what would become the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Cecil Wood in 1835 but problems with Eastpool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The River Bernigo Navigation at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunington. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Salisbury was obliterated by the building of the Manchester to Exeter railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Newcester parish council.
