Background
History
In central Oxford, the Oxford Canal and the River Thames were originally linked by a flash lock at Hythe Bridge. In 1795–97, David Harris replaced it with Isis Lock, a broad lock to allow Thames barges in and out of the Oxford Canal Company's Worcester Street wharves. Isis Lock was rebuilt as a narrow lock in 1844.
