Description


SJ 97 NW RAINOW C.P. HOUGH HOLE

2/126 Weir and bridge by
Wayside Cottage

II

Weir and bridge: c.1800 for James Mellor snr. Coursed squared buff
sandstone rubble with hammer-dressed copings. A weir of 14 stone
steps is flanked by revetment walls that curve round at the top
towards the pool. At the foot of the weir they are joined to a bridge
of 2 segmental rubble arches with projecting rubble courses above,
standing on rectangular piers. There are plain parapets with flat
copings. At the south-west corner, the parapet continues and curves
to contain a solid rectangular stone trough with 2 basins cut out of
it.

This belongs to the now demolished Hough-hole cotton-spinning mill,
which was in the garden of Wayside Cottage.
