Full Description
Thumbnail - Standing in the lade looking upstream at the remains of the sluice.
19th c. estate construction, light industrial. Not restored or listed.
Stone built weir, sluice walls, and one wall of lade. The sluice was constructed out of timber, which was raised and lowered on cast iron gearing, between vertical timber beams. Gears and both racks remain, collapsed on well rotted timbers. Some 200m of lead remains in good order, part filled channel. Fishers path runs atop the lade wall. Path continues beyond 200m, with the line of lade barely visible - filled in when A82 was widened. All traces of lade ceases at 350m, where power station out-fall is reached.
