Sluice for Trewick Sawmill (Belsay)
This sluice controlled the water levels stored for the nearby sawmill. A number of holding reservoirs of various sorts can be seen throughout Northumberland; ponds for power included, as here, mill ponds and for threshing machines. Though some have been filled in many remain as little more than duckponds.
