Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wendover Arm; Sluice Gate The Wendover Arm was designed in 1797 to carry as much water as possible to what was originally called the Grand Junction Canal. However under certain conditions it might be necessary to drain the canal, or to allow surplus water to escape. This sluice would allow surplus water to escape in a controlled manner where it could be held in the Weston Turville Reservoir. Initially this would have been to supply mills in Aylesbury and for a few years it was pumped back into the canal. See 1235539 and 1259380
