Penton Hook Lock 
Thames Side, Laleham KT16 8RS, United Kingdom
Penton Hook Lock is one of some locks on the River Thames (below Oxford); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 near to Middlesbrough.
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

Wikipedia has a page about Penton Hook Lock
Penton Hook Lock is the sixth lowest lock of forty four on the non-tidal reaches of the River Thames in England. It faces an island which was until its construction a pronounced meander (a hook) and is on the site of its seasonal cutoff. It is against the left bank marking the church parish medieval border of Laleham and Staines upon Thames in Surrey for many centuries. Until 1965 their county was Middlesex. At 266 ft (81 m) it is the third longest lock on the river.
A bend 900 m upstream of the lock, Silvery Sands, hosts Staines Regatta in the sport of rowing annually. On the opposite bank in Thorpe is Penton Hook Marina which occupies lakes once land used for gravel extraction.
