The original flash lock capstan used at the Hurley flash lock, prior to the first pound lock being built at this location in 1773, is the last surviving flash lock capstan in existence on the Thames and is situated next to the River in the grounds of Wittington House between Henley and Marlow.
Pound locks were also in use in Italy in the fifteenth century using portcullis type gates but Leonardo da Vinci is credited with the invention of the pound lock using mitre gates with built-in vertical sluices as he prepared plans for such a lock (San Marco Lock) on the Naviglio Interno in Milan in 1495.
Locks are closed for lunch between 13.00 and 14.00 every day except in the summer, when 'Summer Assistants' may be on duty in some of the busier locks.

  Marsh Lock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marsh Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England.
Because the lock is unusually situated on the opposite side of the river to the towpath, a long wooden bridge carries the path out to the lock island below the weir, and then back again to the riverbank above the weir.
The lock, weir and footbridge were designed by Humphrey Gainsborough, a local non-conformist minister, inventor and the brother of the artist Thomas Gainsborough.

The existence of a salt marsh is mainly controlled by the amount of sediment influx to the marsh surface which would enable the marsh to keep pace with the rising sea levels caused by eustatic change and local subsidence (Kraft et al., 1976; Phillips, 1986a).
A study by Khalequzzaman (1989) showed that the marsh within a distance of 15-20m from tidal creeks received 2.8 mm/year of sediments from tidal inundation, which was 93% of the annual required sediment to keep pace with the rising sea level of 3mm/year in Delaware Bay.
Marsh surface in Maurice Creek area can be ditched and the dug sediments should be dumped along the ditches to accelerate sedimentation process on the marsh surface.

If the 60-day lock price is 3/8 of a point higher than the 15-day price, for example, and if the market is stable over the 60 days, the extra 3/8 of a point goes to the broker rather than to the lender.
The most common excuse is that the lock lapsed because of the lender's failure to process the loan within the lock period.
Lenders can claim that the borrower should have selected a longer lock period; that the borrower was slow in meeting the lender's reasonable requests for information; that the broker submitted an incomplete file; and on and on.
