This sluice diverts flow from the River Great Ouse to the Ouse Washes Flood Storage Reservoir to prevent Earith from being flooded ...
The work being carried out (in and around June 2011) will replace lifting ropes, winches and hinge pins and refurbishment and repainting of the three sluice gates, costing about £508000.
The sluice was built in the 1950s.
The picture is just prior to the work being undertaken.
