At least in principle it does, via the vegetation choked cut parallel to the lock. It seems to carry little or no flow now, although the watercourse is intact through the town and more or less water filled. It once was also the lengthy tail race of Upper Mill. I cannot account for the opening under the path along the bank, it may be just local drainage. It does not seem to be flowing either. There is no trace on old maps of any drainage to this point.
