Abstract: |
J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy of Bolton was instructed by the Environment Agency to make an archaeological record of two largely stone-built weirs on Colne Water, Cotton Tree, Colne, Lancashire prior to the reduction of the weirs in order to increase the hydraulic capacity of the watercourse to alleviate local flooding problems. The upstream weir predates 1848 and was probably constructed to serve a lodge or mill pond connected with the original Ball Grove textile mill which became a tannery in the latter half of the19th century. The downstream weir was constructed between 1848 and 1893 and is a more rudimentary structure which was probably constructed in connection with the processes being carried out within the tannery buildings. |
