Description
The sluice gate at the east entrance to the mine canal tunnel in Worsley was built around 1760 by James Brindley, although it has been heavily restored. It features a timber structure, with the original gate removed, and a cast-iron mechanism. The design allows the gate to slide vertically within side restraints. The system includes a hand-turned winch, cast-iron cog-wheels, and pulley wheels, although one pulley wheel is missing. This sluice was used to help mine boats exit by creating a surge of water.
