常州锁桥:
锁桥位于常州西直街中段锁桥河(锁桥湾)南口,接京杭运河。锁桥为单孔石拱桥,长10余米,宽4.8米,跨境5.65米,梁底标高5.83米,桥面标高6.2米。康熙年间(1622~1722)重建,同治十一年(1872)重修,民国20年(1931)又重修。抗战期间,桥损严重。抗战胜利后,1946年10月,江苏省公路局拨款抢修。此桥虽历经修建,只是桥面及护栏改头换面而已,桥身基本未变。
史载,锁桥跨外城(罗城)濠。罗城曾是常州历史上最大的城厢,城墙周27里37丈,高1丈,城厢呈东西长、南北狭,平面呈菱形状,城东到今水门桥北堍,西到今锁桥东堍。
京杭运河对岸“南运桥”处是南运河与京杭运河交汇处,南运河也称“蠡河”,传说是范蠡主持开凿自常州入滆湖通宜兴的要道。
江湖汇秀:由于京杭运河通长江,南运河通滆湖,交汇处原有堰名“石龙嘴”,其上立有石碑“江湖汇秀”,是常州西郊八景之一。抗战期间,日军驻扎,严查往来船只,碑额散落。后拓宽疏浚京杭运河,石龙嘴堰彻底消失。
