Description
Gayle Mill Pentrough is a pentrough built around 1784. It is a linear structure approximately 100 meters long that runs from the waterfall under Gayle Bridge towards Gayle Mill. The first section is about 70 meters long, constructed of rubble with a lower section made of timber boarding. This section ends about 10 meters short of the mill, where the water drops into a sump before reaching the turbines. The pentrough likely supplied water to the original waterwheel in the mill before being adapted to serve the turbines.
