Caversham Lock is a
lock and main
weir on the
River Thames in England at
Reading,
Berkshire. Both structures connect to
De Bohun Island (or colloquially
Lock Island), a long island. The original lock was built by the
Thames Navigation Commissioners in 1778. Additional sluices north of verdant View Island and multiple home Heron Island form the whole weir complex. A footbridge passes over all three islands to connect Lower Caversham to Reading via an alternative route than George Street and Reading Bridge.
