GV II
Floodgate. Probably 1765, by James Brindley, for Duke of
Bridgewater, altered in C19 and C20. Stone. Part of hydraulic
system by which the Bridgewater Canal terminus basin exploited
the course of the River Medlock, which was diverted through a
culvert running from this position to Potato Wharf, and the
canal overflow was returned to the river via weir known as the
Giant's Basin. Simple stucture of national historical
importance. See also culvert arches, New Elm Road, and the
Giant's Basin, Potato Wharf.
