This weir crosses the river at a shallow angle. The conduit that would have taken water from the river was not visible – but there is a puzzle, as there is a steep hillside on the other (Linthwaite) side, and on this side a strip of land between canal and river that ends at the aqueduct, so where and how was the water taken?
