Weston cut is a man-made channel, opened in 1727, for boats to approach and pass through Weston lock, which created an island between the cut and the river weir, which became known as Dutch Island named after the owner of the brass mill established on the river side in the early 18th century. The Dolphin Inn (later becoming the Locksbrook Inn) next to the lock was built for bargees in 1728. It is a Grade II listed building. (en)
