Segmental-arched opening to up-stream culvert at river/basement level. 2 windows to each elevation at upper level, some blocked. Water outlet downstream through banked terrace.

Statement of Interest

Clifford was working on the estate in the pre-War years and it is likely on these grounds and stylistically that he was the architect. A small building is shown on, or near, the site on the 1895 OS map, but the site is cleared on that on 1908. Such water-powered turbine houses as this were springing up in the grounds of country houses thus irrigated to supply electricity in the years after 1880: a contemporary parallel can be found at Ardkinglas, Argyll. A pedestrian bridge lies close by.
