What is recorded here

Rubble stone weir, built c.1800, set diagonally across Woodford River. Battered to north side and having sluice gate to west end. Restored c.1980.

This weir is a notable landscape feature, both for its integral physical properties and for its role in creating Woodford Bay, the large dammed pond to the south-west of the town. The stacked rubble stone creates a pleasing textured effect, and contrasts pleasingly with the more recent rubble stone embankments. Formerly used to generate energy for a now defunct corn mill, and to provide street lighting for the town prior to the rural electrification scheme.
