SK5618 : River Soar overflow sluice gate near Pilling's Lock
taken 11 years ago, near to Barrow Upon Soar, Leicestershire, England
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.
