Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Leat, Chagford This feature is preserved beside New Street. Metal fittings show where a miniature sluice would have been used to prevent water escaping.

From http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/chagford-caa.pdf : "leats were and still are a particular important feature of Chagford ... {They} were cut to serve a variety of purposes, from providing the power for the various mills situated in the town, as an early town water supply, providing additional power for the electricity station, and to bring water to the four open

fields situated to the west of New Street." Most are now culverted.
