Aldermaston Lock is a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Berkshire, constructed during the late eighteenth century as part of the canal's development. The lock forms part of the navigational infrastructure built to facilitate inland water transport between the Kennet and the Avon valleys, serving commercial and personal traffic during the canal age. Like other locks on this route, Aldermaston Lock reflects the engineering standards of late Georgian canal construction, with characteristic masonry stonework and operational mechanisms typical of the period. The structure remains an important example of the canal heritage that transformed inland transport networks during the Industrial Revolution.
