I believe it to be on the Thames, I have the book at home & will check later.— Rodtalk 14:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
You are right that Monkey Marsh Lock was truf sided but this changed in the 1990s as part of renovation work. There is another turf sided lock on the River Wey, but I don't think it is still naviagble. Having checked a couple of books & emailed one of the authors I don't think there is another working turf sided lock in Britain.— Rodtalk 08:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is there any way to get a picture of this lock? I'm having trouble visualizing how a turf-sided lock would appear... 67.70.128.248 04:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
I can try next time I'm in that area, but that may not be for a while. I have added the category "Wikipedia requested photographs in Berkshire" in the hope that someone can help out. Basically the sides are more sloping than other locks (so it takes longer to fill) & almost like a "V" shape - much wider at the top than bottom & with vegetation up the sides.— Rodtalk 08:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
