London Bridge

  c1890.. as designed by John Rennie and his son Sir John in 1831.. In 1905 the pavements were corbelled out on either side so as to give more width to the road.. Old London Bridge.. which had houses on it.. was further downstream to the right.. The tower of Wren's church of St. Magnus the Martyr was at its entrance.. This tower has now been obscured by the 1924 Adelaide House.. On the left of the bridge is the 1831-34 Fishmongers' Hall

  Despite the title, this is not a canal lock, it's the lock at the weir on the Shannon at Athlone.
  
  You can see the very same foreground stonework, water level (in that notch) and metal lock-gate-opening gizmo in my (relatively) recent photo, here:
  
  

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Niall McAuley Thanks for saving our (my!) blushes there. Have changed description, and in return, can tell you that the gizmo is officially a gate winch... So is that the canal at all?

• Niall McAuley said:

  No, it's just that lock you can see in the photo above, there's no canal at all. See an aerial view from Google maps linked below, the lock is to the left of the weir: maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&ll=53.422947,-7.939392&...

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Niall McAuley Thanks! Obliterated all mention of canal from tags...

• Stuart said:

  Here's one of the gate winches without it's coverings and a close up of a plate inscription from another. You can see the winch could have been operated by one or two people and it originally used chains. Thomas Rhodes was Chief Engineer on the harbour project, the technical guy in charge.
