The river has been re-arranged here to serve Cunsey Mill, downstream to the east.
Above the bridges there is a weir to take the river flow, while the direct course
was once the mill lade. Below the bridge this has been altered recently: another weir,
with a fish pass, taking water to the river channel; and the stub of a mill ladde
which is now blocked off. (I think I have interpretted this correctly.) |
