![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.[[[5990567]]] by Roger D Kidd – 26 August 2013](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/99/45/5994547_8a7410f5_120x120.jpg)
