Also known as the Warwickshire Avon or Shakespeare's Avon, it has been divided since 1719 into the Lower Avon, below Evesham, and the Upper Avon, from Evesham to above Stratford-upon-Avon.

Ownership of the navigation was formally divided into the Upper and Lower Avon in 1717, with Evesham being the dividing point.

The Lower Avon Navigation between Evesham and the River Severn was leased by George Perrott in 1758, who spent over £ 4, 000 upgrading the locks and weirs to enable 40 tonne barges to navigate the river.

Once the Stratford Canal was completed, there was fierce competition between the Upper and Lower Avon companies, with coal from the Worcester and Birmingham coming up-river to Evesham, and coal coming down-river from Stratford.

C. Douglas Barwell sought legal advice on how best the proposal could be managed, out of which the Lower Avon Navigation Trust Ltd ( LANT ) was constituted as a charity in 1950, and the BBC broadcast news of the proposals in April 1950.

By 1962, LANT had raised over £ 50, 000, the 7 locks from Tewkesbury to Evesham were restored to working order, re-opening the Lower Avon, and plans were already being made to rebuild Evesham Town Lock and press on towards Stratford.

Collins Brothers, who owned the lock site, with the main dam, sluice and weir, donated them to the Lower Avon Navigation Trust in 1966, extending the jurisdiction of the Lower Avon above its historical limits.

Although the Upper Avon was in a much worse condition than the Lower Avon, the Upper Avon Navigation Trust Ltd ( UANT ) was constituted in 1965 to rebuild it.

To distinguish it from a number of other Rivers Avon in Britain, this river is often also known as the Lower Avon or Bristol Avon.

The river between the town and Stratford is managed by the Upper Avon Navigation Trust, and below by the Lower Avon Navigation Trust, reflecting the administration of the river since the Restoration, when the lower Avon required only modest repairs, but significant investment was required above the town.
