Aynho Weir lock

Seen from the footbridge of the top of the lock. The unusual shape came about because the lock is a shallow one at the end of a river section, but needs to pass enough water to feed the deeper locks downstream of it.

Wendy is steering, Ian waiting to open the bottom gate.

Note the double gate-paddles, operated by a single hydraulic thingy.
