Masonry in the riverbed, Sowerby Bridge

Looking upstream from the footbridge over the Calder Image, there is a line of masonry just above the much reduced water level in a very dry summer. I think it is probably the remains of a wall separating the main river (left) from the tailrace (right) of the originally water-powered Greenup's Mill. Image shows a more normal river level.
