Description
SEATON SLUICE THE HARBOUR NZ 3376 NZ 33767680 14/110 Remains of sluice gate at west end of the cut GV II
Sluice gate and fittings, probably C19 but replacing an original of 1764 by Thomas Delaval, the engineer, for John Hussey Delaval. Cast iron, timber. Remains of heavy boarded gate sliding in U-section girder uprights set into rock.
The landward gate of the 'new cut' constructed 1761-4 to provide both an all- weather harbour entrance and a deep-water dock, a bold engineering scheme costing £10,000 expedited by the use of lime blasting. This was the first floating harbour on the east coast. Listed for historical value.
