A Lock keeper, Lock Tender, or lock operator looks after a canal or river lock, operating it and if necessary maintaining it or organizing its maintenance. Traditionally, the lock keeper lived on-site, often in a small purpose-built cottage. With the decline in commercial traffic the occupation is dying out, at least in Britain. Many previously manned locks are now unmanned.
