Description
Slippery Gowt Sluice is a drainage sluice built in 1733 for the Court of Sewers. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings. The brick round-arched tunnel measures 38 feet long, 6 feet high, and 3 feet 6 inches wide. The main front features a round-arched tunnel entrance with an ashlar keystone inscribed with "TB 1733" and splayed brick walls. The other entrance has a similar round-arched design, with embanked brick side walls that include ashlar quoins and coping. This sluice was one of two sluices that served as outfalls for the Wyberton Towns Drain and was built at a cost of £297 11 shillings.
