4th April 2009 The bin area has now been moved and the new patio/staging area has now been completed just in time for the summers performances.
11th February 2009 More floods @ the lock The combination of heavy rain and snow melting from previous down pours has again flooded the old lock & weir inn, Leb a celebrity in these parts thought he would take the boat to the pub for a change.
11th January 2008 The Lock Floods With Torrential rain for a couple of days the river Avon rose to levels we haven't seen for a long time, but this did not deter the 'lock Locals' who still managed to have a good time, some of which were stuck in the pub all night.....shame? but with more rain to come river levels will rise causing more problems for all who live along Ferry Road.
