Revision as of 00:25, 14 March 2006 by Jpbowen (talk | contribs) (New entry)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Boulter's Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames at the eastern side of Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. It is owned and managed by the Environment Agency.
A "bolter" was a miller and hence this is literally "miller's lock." Close by is Ray Mill Island.
The lock has been the subject of a number of pictures since it is very picturesque. For example, Boulter's Lock, Sunday Afternoon (1882–97) by Edward John Gregory (1850–1909) is probably his most well-known painting.
