What's over the gate, site of Canal Mills
Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 19 Aug 2013
I have often passed a high solid wooden gate in the wall that is all that remains of Canal Mills, and wondered what was on the other side. I was convinced that there must be a pumping station to pump water from the river to the canal, as there is sometimes a flow of water into the canal opposite the gate. Eventually I did the obvious thing, and held the camera up over the top of the gate. I am not much wiser!
