Full description:
Cantilevered footpath, with walls and attached weir c1830. Coursed rubble stone and ashlar. This footpath runs from Lily Bridge on Waterside, north along the east bank of Hebble Brook. The southern section 45 metres in length has a low wall to the left which drops to the brook, the right wall is 8 foot high with pyramidal coping. To the north a curved weir and sluice with machinery intact. From this point the footpath stretches north for 40 metres between two similar walls. Then it becomes cantilevered with large stone slabs supported on curved stone brackets, with an iron stick baluster railing on the left side. The northern most section has been replaced, the brackets and some broken paving survives below the new concrete footpath and bridge.
