Weir and sluice gates across the River Calder. Probably second quarter C19,
sluice gates dated 1827. Ashlar and cast-iron. Segmental curved weir has
8 steps with, to west and east, curved retaining walls of giant ashlar blocks.
At east end 3 sluices divided by 6 giant stepped buttresses with pointed-arched
cutwaters to the south. Two original sluice gates with circular winding gear
and large cog wheel the plates with lettering in relief reading
"HEWES & WREN

working order.
Partly in the parish of Stanley.
