Sluice on the Maud Foster Drain. 1807 by John Rennie with
later minor C20 alterations. Gritstone sahlar, iron and wood.
Sluice with 3 elliptical archways, 2 projecting faceted piers
to each side, coped parapet walls, with band. To both sides
are sloping splayed retaining walls with returns. The iron
bound timber sluice gates are retained and operational by a
gantry-mounted pulley system. The piers are support to later
access walkways and the parapet walls are surmounted by later
steel balustrading.
The sluice was constructed as part of a comprehensive scheme
to reclaim the East, West, and Wildmore Fens, between 1803 and
1813.
