Description
Gloucester Lock is a lock that connects the Main Basin of the Docks with the River Severn. It was completed in 1799 as a two-chamber lock in a staircase design, created by architect and engineer Robert Mylne and resident engineer James Dadford for the Canal Company. In 1892, it was remodeled into a single chamber for the company and the River Severn Commission. The lock features a concrete-lined basin with ashlar coping on both sides. At each end, there are timber double gates that carry footbridges. Originally, these gates were operated by timber balance beams reinforced with iron girders, but they were later equipped with hydraulic paddle gear. Additionally, separate flood gates are fitted at the north end of the lock.
