Brindles Sideweir.

Using his water milling experience Brindley devised sideweirs and byewashes to keep the canal at a constant depth.
The canal on the left when up to level flows through the arches, which stop surface floating debris,and holds at the weir level. After heavy rain the excess water flows over the weir and down through the arch to the River Salwarpe. The weir was restored by a Waterway Recovery Group of volunteers. Max
