Jesus Green Lock No 1

Jesus Green Lock No 1 is one of many locks on the River Cam (Main river - Small River); it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Act of Parliament for the River Cam (Main river - Small River) was passed on 17 September 1782 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. The canal joined the sea near Longley. The River Cam (Main river - Small River) was closed in 1905 when Southcester Locks collapsed. According to Thomas Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Bridgend Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Mooring is limited to 48 hours. No return in the following seven days.
Facilities: boater-operated pump-out and water point.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
