Weir and retaining walls on River
Aire
GV II
Weir and retaining walls. 1690 and late C19. Gritstone. The
weir is approx 50m long and is situated approx 60m downstream
of Newlay Bridge. The walling is on the N bank of the river,
at the point where the Kirkstall Forge goit began.
Records of Kirkstall Forge show that by 1690 the lease from
Lord Savile had passed through several hands to the Spencer
group of ironworks; the rent was increased in 1690 when a new
lease was negotiated following the construction of a new weir
at Newlay to power the slitting and rolling mill.
