Groves Lock

A Memory of Send.

In my youth (1950s) the lock on the right was know as Groves lock.  Mr Groves hired out boats in the summer months and his house was to the right rear of this picture.  The river divides here, with the river going of to the left.  You used to be able to row a boat down there until you came to a weir.  The land in the centre of the picture was owned by Mrs May and her son.  Their big house was behind the trees. It still remains.
