Sluice

A difficult choice for our walk today, the meadow paths grow steadily muddier, and as it was a nice morning  the whole local population and its dog(s) seemed to be out. We chose to stick to the  hard paths which we knew were wide enough to allow for avoiding action. Still unfortunately necessary where groups of 2/4 didn't want to pause their conversation as they passed. But the sun shone, we had a pleasant walk and I stopped for my blip,almost on our doorstep.
The remains of a sluice gate between two mill ponds , it was usable until about twenty years ago when it was badly damaged by vandals.
Thanks to Marlieske for keeping Derelict Sundays going.
