mill, Little Salkeld, Hunsonby, Cumbria, NY56673599 -- Mill race and sluices.
The first sluice, controlled by a wooden lever from inside the mill, lets water out of the race, reducing the power of the wheel. Sluices controlled by cords over pulleys, also from within the mill, can shut off water going to the wheel.
