Old Built Remains 2


Here, at the opposite side of the tailrace is s smaller 90 angle of a walled structure which is in direct alignment with the other. Interestingly, the tailrace wall is anything but crude as the curvature works in two directions i.e. with the curve of the river bed whilst also curving upwards and outwards to contain and guide a large volume of fast flowing water.

If this watercourse had been built just for trout spawning 'tanks', it would probably not require this degree of sophistication to control/contain fast flowing water.
