Weir east of Hunt's Lock, with footbridge, Historic weir structure in Northwich, England
The weir located east of Hunt's Lock consists of a dam and footbridge crossing the River Weaver, serving as a control point for water flow management.
Listed as a Grade II structure in 1986, this weir forms an integral part of the 19th-century Weaver Navigation system that supported industrial development.
