This impressive stone built structure was constructed hundreds of years ago to divert flows from Park Dike towards Lane Head Farm, once a water powered mill, a unique historical building, one of a kind in this area and hard to imagine how much work was involved. A marvel of a construction and possibly related to the medieval water mill in Stephen Wood. The stone slab which houses the spindle head unit can be seen just upstream next to the footpath.
This is an amazing site. Just imagine what it would have looked like when it was fully operational.
So much history along this stretch of water which feeds the ancient woodlands..the weir was built hundreds of years ago in a time when people cared for their landscape
A great example of the local history - to be cherished not destroyed!
