Cromwell Lock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cromwell Lock is a large navigation lock on the River Trent in Nottinghamshire, and marks the tidal limit of the river[1]. The weir by the side of the lock is one of the largest on the Trent, and is best known as the site of an accident that took place on September 28, 1975, in which 10 Royal Engineers were killed[2].
