River Soar overflow sluice gate near Pilling's Lock
By Pilling's Lock there is a wide four-step weir over which the River Soar flows.

Here, a little to the south, an additional overflow channel has been cut, with a sluice gate to control excess water during flood conditions. The boom is to prevent careless (or over-adventurous) boaters from taking the wrong course.
