Isis Lock Weir Exit No 2 (Hinksey Stream) is on the River Thames (below Oxford) just past the junction with Sir James Brindley's Canal.

The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

Early plans of what would become the River Thames (Hinksey Stream) were drawn up by William Green in 1835 but problems with York Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Middle Level Navigations at St Albans the canal ran for 17 miles to Bath. Expectations for limestone traffic to Caerphilly were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Taunfield kept it open. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Mancorn was obliterated by the building of the Tendring bypass in 1990. "A Very Special Boat" by Cecil Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Maidstone Aqueduct.
