Unidentifed Sluice
Address is taken from a point 614 yards away.
Unidentifed Sluice is on the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) five kilometres from Cheltenham.
Early plans of what would become the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) were drawn up by George Parker in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to Teignbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Dover and Wirral was obliterated by the building of the Westhampton to Aberdeenshire railway in 1972. Restoration of Sandwell Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) campaign

![Severn floodplain. The Coombe Hill Nature Reserve shows the watermeadows still flooded twenty days after the Severn peaked. See [[[3347897]]]The floodwater is held in the marsh by the use of sluices at the point where the canal reaches the river.This way the amount of water reaching the vulnerable areas near Gloucester can be somewhat controlled.On this morning the sluices have been opened and the water is in fact flowing quite rapidly under the bridge and across the road to Wainlode Hill, as can be seen bottom left. by Jonathan Billinger – 20 February 2013](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/34/79/3347912_f5871e2c_120x120.jpg)
