Hanham Lock is a canal lock situated on the River Avon, at the village of Hanham near Bristol, England. The Bristol Avon Navigation, which runs the 15 miles (24 km) from the Kennet and Avon Canal at Hanham Lock to the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth, was constructed between 1724 and 1727, following legislation passed by Queen Anne, by a company of proprietors and the engineer John Hore of Newbury. The first cargo of 'Deal boards, Pig-Lead and Meal' arrived in Bath in December 1727. The navigation is now administered by the Canal & River Trust.

  • Hanham Lock is a canal lock situated on the River Avon, at the village of Hanham near Bristol, England. The Bristol Avon Navigation, which runs the 15 miles (24 km) from the Kennet and Avon Canal at Hanham Lock to the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth, was constructed between 1724 and 1727, following legislation passed by Queen Anne, by a company of proprietors and the engineer John Hore of Newbury. The first cargo of 'Deal boards, Pig-Lead and Meal' arrived in Bath in December 1727. The navigation is now administered by the Canal & River Trust. Hanham Lock is the first lock east of Netham where boats leave the Bristol Floating Harbour. A weir carries the river and boats use the adjacent lock. It is numbered as 1 and is officially the first on the Kennet and Avon Canal. It opened in 1727 and there used to be a colliery wharf just west of the lock, however the mines closed in the 19th century. The river below Hanham Lock is considered to be tidal, as high tides often pass over the weir at Netham. Some spring tides will also pass over the weir here, making the river tidal up to Keynsham Lock. The canal superintendent's house was built here, now a Grade II listed building; it is called "Picnic House". In front of this house once stood Hanham Mills, an archway over the towpath being all that remained of the mills until 1897, when the Hanham Abbotts Parish Church had the archway demolished due to its poor state of repair. Just above the lock are some permanent and visitor moorings and two pubs. (en)
  • L’écluse de Hanham est située sur la rivière Avon, dans le village de près de Bristol, en Angleterre. L’écluse de Hanham est la première écluse à l’est de où les bateaux partent de Bristol .

Il a ouvert en 1727 et il y avait un quai de mine juste à l'ouest de l’écluse, mais les mines ont fermé au XIXe siècle. La rivière en contrebas de l’écluse de Hanham est soumise à la marée, les marées hautes passent souvent au-dessus du déversoir à Netham. Certaines grandes marées passent également par-dessus le déversoir, et atteignent l’écluse de Keynsham. La maison du surintendant du canal a été construite ici, et est maintenant un bâtiment classé Grade II, il est appelé "Picnic House". En face de cette maison se trouvaient autrefois les moulins de Hanham, une arche sur le chemin de halage est tout ce qui restait des moulins jusqu’en 1897, lorsque l’église paroissiale d’Abbotts Hanham a fait démolir cette arche en raison de son mauvais état. Juste en amont de l’écluse se trouvent quelques mouillages permanents et temporaires pour les visiteurs ainsi que deux pubs. (fr)
