Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of North Worcestershire Water Management at Pike's Pool, Ipsley Church Lane, Redditch, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0604 6644; HER ref. WSM 68493). The area had been used for a number of mills and water management of the River Arrow during the post-medieval period. During works on the north side of the pool inlet, the base of a brick and concrete sluice structure was observed, cleaned and recorded. It was constructed of machine made bricks, with slots for wooden beams, which were generally rotten. The structure had been recorded as a sluice on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1884 and a sluice and weir on later editions. The structure was to be preserved in situ as a feature of the renovated pond. No further archaeological features were observed during the works on the south side of the pool. |
