This weir consists of three spans of spandrel braced steel arches erected in 1949 to carry machinery for raising and lowering gates to control the flow of water and its level upstream. They can be raised at high tide to allow the passage of small boats. The engineer was Robert Bruce, City Engineer, and the contractor, Crowley Russell.
