GV II

Bridge and retaining walls to head race on west side. Probably
c1850 for John and William Gott. Coursed stone, ashlar,
cast-iron railings. Single shallow segmental arch, rusticated
voussoirs, band at road level, stone square section bollards
with bands and shallow pyramidal caps; parapet rails of vase
and flower form with thickened central standard. Retaining
walls to mill race link to sluice gates (qv) and north wall
has remains of railings as parapet on north side.
The stonework of the north side of the head race here shows
several alterations and might be the remains of the fulling
mill of c1750 demolished when Thomas Lloyd built the new mills
and widened the millrace in 1788.
