Jessopp's Weir and fish pass
Image: © John Stephen Taken: 26 Jun 2013
Jessopp's Weir on the River Asker. The fish pass (on the right with steps) was installed in 2010. It also has a side channel on the extreme left, to allow passage of eels. Fish (sea trout) have been photographed passing upstream, so it does work. The weir on the Brit at Palmers Brewery also has a fish pass. The weir also has a gauging station (the brick built hut) and forms part of the flood management scheme for the Rivers Asker and Brit.
