This leat provided water for a vanished eighteenth-century wire mill and it is interesting to see the associated pond has been restored in recent years - Image Enlarge the Geograph map and you will see that on leaving the wood the leat once ran out on embankment to work an overshot waterwheel. The tannery was on the other side of the Candlestick Brook and had a shorter leat, further down the slope. See also Image] and Image]
