Description
The sluice at the outfall of the Warping Drain into the River Trent, located immediately north of Millfield House, was built between 1795 and 1801. It is constructed from tooled ashlar and features a timber sluice gate with an iron hoist mechanism. The west face has a segmental tunnel arch flanked by coped revetment walls. Above, there is a stepped-back, slightly concave parapet between rectangular piers with rounded coping. The sluice gate and hoist remain in place, with a lifting bar passing through a wheeled ratchet mechanism attached to the parapet, although the gate is obscured by earth infill. The Warping Drain was part of drainage works carried out by Samuel Foster during the same period. The sluice was replaced by mechanical pumps in the 1930s.
