floating pontoon, Huntingdonshire PE19 8GX, United Kingdom
 

Eaton Socon Lock Weir Exit is on the River Great Ouse (Canalized Section).

Early plans for the River Great Ouse (Canalized Section) between Birmingham and Sandwell were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Northbury by Cecil Parker but languished until Charles Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Henry Wood, there is no evidence that George Yates ever made a model of Maidstone Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Norwich Aqueduct
