Additional information

Next to the lock are the remains of an old wharf which was once connected by a tramway or railway to Dane Valley Sawmill.
The route of the old railway can be found with some difficulty, passing through the undergrowth almost all the way back to the sawmill.
The sawmill is still there and now processes wood flour for industry.
