1/49 Sluice gate at
east entrance to
mine canal-tunnel
(formerly listed
as pair of locks,
29/7/66 Worsley Road)
G.V. II
Sluice qate. c.1760 by James Brindley although heavily restored. Timber
structure (gate removed) with cast-iron mechanism. The gate
was designed to slide vertically within side restraints. The
hand-turned winch, cast-iron cog-wheels and pulley wheels
(one of which is missing) were arranged so as to lift the
gate within the simple timber structure. The sluice was used
to enable mine boats to exit by means of a surge of water.
