Grafton Lock : ウィキペディア英語版 | Grafton Lock
Grafton Lock is a lock on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It is on the northern bank between Kelmscott and Radcot, about south of the hamlet of Grafton. The lock was built by the Thames Conservancy in 1896. The weir is on the other side of the lock island at the upstream end. Grafton Lock Meadow at the lock is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. ==History== There was previously a weir with a flash lock on the site known variously as Day's, East, New Lock or Lower Hart's. The name Lower Hart's was to avoid confusion with another Hart's Weir upstream which was eventually replaced by Eaton Footbridge in 1936. The Thames Conservancy removed the weir in 1869. The first suggestion for a permanent pound lock was made in 1892, four years before it opened.
