Details

GOOLE SWINEFLEET ROAD SE 72 SE SE 7527 219 6 11/153 Sluice/road bridge at outfall of Earnshaw's Warping Drain approximately 25 metres south-east of Park Cottages - II Sluice. Late C18 - early C19. Tooled ashlar, with timber sluice gate and iron hoist mechanism. South-west face has central tunnel arch flanked by projecting revetment walls splayed out to each side and rising to a roadside parapet between coped rectangular piers. Sluice gate and hoist in situ: board gate has timber lifting bar with attached iron teeth passing through wheeled ratchet mechanism attached at one end to the parapet and at the other to an iron girder between the revetment walls. North-east side has parapet; remainder obscured by later earth infill. Carries the main A 161 road. Besides serving as a land drain, this watercouse was also used for improving the nearby low lying farmland by warping, a process whereby silt was deposited by controlled flooding. One of only 2 sluices in the Axeholme - Marshland area retaining the original hoist mechanism, (the other on the Folly Drain, Derrythorpe Road, Keadby with Althorpe parish (qv)), and the most complete example of a warping drain sluice in the area.
