Canal Feeder
This rather overgrown waterway is the northern part of the canal, through which the canal was supplied with water from a sluice on the River Don. As you can see, it's deep and rather overgrown with vegetation. Not a good place for a swim, voluntarily or otherwise.

Sluice
This looks incontrovertibly like a sluice, and equally incontrovertibly disused. I believe that it controlled the flow of water from the lade into the barley and flour mills that stood nearby.

Warning Sign
The maps are pretty misleading here. I expected to see an open watercourse, not a vegetated hollow, but I was not about to experiment to find out how dry, or alternatively how deep, it was. The many warning signs like this one are very necessary.
