Caversham Lock is a lock and main weir on the River Thames in England at Reading, Berkshire. Both the lock and main weir are connected to De Bohun Island (colloquially known as Lock Island). The Thames Navigation Commissioners built the original lock in 1778. Additional sluices north of View Island and Heron Island form the whole weir complex. A footbridge passes over all three islands to connect Lower Caversham to Reading via a route other than George Street and Reading Bridge. The head of water provided by the weir is used by Reading Hydro to generate up to 46 kW of electricity.

  • Das Caversham Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse bei Reading, in Berkshire, England. Sie wurde an die De Bohun Island, die deswegen umgangssprachlich auch Lock Island genannt wird, angebaut. Die Schleuse wurde 1778 von der Thames Navigation Commission errichtet. Aus dem Wehr an der Schleuse und weiteren Wehren an der View Island und Heron Island entsteht ein Gesamtkomplex an Wehren. Eine Brücke verbindet alle drei Inseln und ist eine Verbindung von Lower Caversham nach Reading. (de)
