How fish get through the pipe bridge over Colby Beck

The way into the village from Colby Laithes. What the French would call a 'pont submersible'. It allows vehicles to cross at all water levels, but has been adapted to allow fish to pass at all water levels too. A large low square pipe was inserted in the centre, and retains a water flow at all times.
