Lock No.1, River Cam, Cambridge
Lock No.1, River Cam, Cambridge
Built in 1836 Lock No.1 is the city’s only lock. It is located north of Jesus Green, which itself is north of Jesus College, hence the former's name. The navigable Cam runs for 14.5 miles (23.2 km), from Cambridge to the junction with the Great Ouse, at Pope's Corner. The stretch of river northeast (downstream) of Jesus Lock is referred to as the lower river, whereas the stretch above Jesus Lock is sometimes known as the middle river. The Jesus Lock footbridge with metal trellis railings and wooden walking surface was built c.1892. It links Jesus Green and Chesterton Road.
