Keynsham Lock Weir Entrance
Channel leading to the Weir
Port Avon Marina, Keynsham Road, South Gloucestershire BS31 2DE, United Kingdom
Keynsham Lock Weir Entrance is on the River Avon (Kennet and Avon Navigation) three miles from Gloucester.
Early plans of what would become the River Avon (Kennet and Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1816 but problems with Bradford Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wesspool to Oldhampton canal at Newport, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bernigo at Wycombe caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Eastcester instead. In his autobiography Henry Edwards writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
