Cantilevered Footpath And Weir On The East Bank Of Hebble Brook

The cantilevered footpath and weir on the east bank of Hebble Brook, built around 1830, features coursed rubble stone and ashlar. The footpath begins at Lily Bridge on Waterside and extends north along the brook. The southern section is 45 metres long, with a low wall on the left that drops to the brook, and an 8-foot high wall on the right topped with pyramidal coping. To the north, there is a curved weir and sluice with intact machinery. The footpath continues for 40 metres between two similar walls before becoming cantilevered, supported by large stone slabs on curved stone brackets, with an iron stick baluster railing on the left side. The northernmost section has been replaced, but some brackets and broken paving remain beneath the new concrete footpath and bridge.
