Description

A G Wright Sluice, Denver Sluice Complex, Denver

The Denver Sluice Complex. Vermuyden built Denver Sluice for the Company of Adventurers in 1652-3 immediately following, or as part of, his second phase of works in this area - the creation of what is now called the Ouse Washes. According to Samuel Wells (1830, Vol 1, pps 739-740) Vermuyden built it "in order to force the tidal waters in a straight course up the Hundred Foot river, instead of allowing them to flow in their natural and more circuitous channel up the Ten Mile, or Ouze River."
