Bush Hill Sluice

Bush Hill Sluice is a sluice building located on Bush Hill Road, dating from 1796 and likely designed by Robert Mylne for the New River Company. The structure features painted brick on a stone arch and has a Welsh slate roof. It is a single cell, square in plan, positioned over the watercourse. A pent porch on the west side includes a four-panel door, while the south side has a boarded-up lunette window. The north side features a window with radial glazing bars and a blind recess below. The building has a hipped roof topped with a spike finial. The interior has not been inspected.

This sluice house was used to operate sluice gates that controlled the flow of water over the Bush Hill frame, which is related to the works of the New River, established in 1613 by Sir Hugh Myddelton to provide a cleaner water supply to London. Another sluice building from the New River can be found at Newnton Close in Hackney.
