Description
A pair of sluice gates and control gear, located 3 metres north west of North Mill, date from the early 19th century. They feature ashlar abutments with wooden gates and iron gears. The system includes a horizontal shaft with worm gearing connected to large spur wheels, which operate the gates through winding drums and chains. This structure is part of a mill complex that was built for cotton and silk spinning.
