Tyle Mill Lock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyle Mill Lock (grid reference SU626691) is a lock situated near the vilage of Sulhamstead on the Kennet and Avon Canal, England.
Tyle Mill Lock was built between 1718 and 1723 under the supervision of the engineer John Hore of Newbury, and this stretch of the river is now administered by British Waterways and known as the Kennet Navigation. It has a rise/fall of 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m).[1]
The lock became derelict in the 1950s and restored in 1973 but remained out of commission until 1976.[2]
Close to the lock are a wharf and swing bridge.
