Full Description
An overflow weir, still substantially stone-lined, which acts as an overflow for the canal. There is a sluice in the centre of the weir and a timber bridge over extended outfall shelf. It is not known if this was part of the original 1794 canal construction and it is not marked on the 1811 survey. The weir is shown on the 1876 OS Map, but there is no bridge and path. The lip and top part of the run off shelf have been replaced in concrete, the rest of the structure, down to the outfall over the stream is still stone-lined. The weir and sluice are fully functional, taking overflow and draining the canal. (1)
