Full Description
Canal, built to avoid Oxnead Mill, see NHER 7660.
The millstream itself seems to be a diversion of the river superceding the old course, which is now a backwater further south. Probably part of the Bure Navigation Canal of 1775, see NHER 29856, but might be as late as the 1851 rebuilding of the mill.
(S1) does not seem to show this canal, but it does mark 'lock' by the mill which suggests its omission may be a mistake. The pound walls of the eastern lock, of yellow brick, survived in 1993, as does the western, which has been transformed into a cascade by dumping bags of cement.
E. Rose (NLA) 26 July 1993.
