This sluice gate is sited along the Saxon Shore Way
path opposite Minster in Thanet, Kent. It has two gates, either side
of a large concrete wall, controlling the flow of water from one of
the many drainage/irrigation ways into the River Stour. Large iron
frames hold winch and chain raising mechanism's to open the
(presumably) metal gates that, on this occasion were beneath the water
line.
The photo's were from the opposite side of the
River Stour along the Monk's Wall footpath, accessible from Minster in
Thanet.
