G.V. II
Sluice gate. c.1760 by James Brindley although heavily restored.
Timber structure and gate with cast-iron mechanism. Gate slides
vertically in side restraints. The hand-turned winch, cast
iron cog-wheels and pulley were designed to lift and lower
the gate within the simple timber structure which forms an A-
frame using the quarry face as support. The sluice was used
to enable mine boats to exit by means of a surge of water.
