		The flash lock was rebuilt and enlarged in 1885 but the first pound lock, which was constructed using concrete, was not built until 1928 by the Thames Conservancy despite the fact that in 1817 it was considered that a pound lock was desirable and that it would be built as soon as funds became available.
