Locksbrook

Locksbrook is a light industrial and residential area in the west of Bath, England. It straddles the electoral wards of Newbridge and Kingsmead.

Locksbrook lies on the north bank of the River Avon and is, effectively, the area between the river and the former Mangotsfield and Bath railway line. A footbridge, the "Halfpenny Bridge" crosses the Avon and connects the area with Twerton.[1] Lock number 6, the highest of the Avon River Navigation, is also to be found there.[2]

Locksbrook is the location of Locksbrook Cemetery, the resting place of several notable people.
