Description: | A grade II listed monument. The River Torne was cut between 1629-1639 by Cornelius Vermuyden. The South Level Engine Drain, which prior to 1858 was known as the New Idle River, was cut as part of the improvements made by Samuel Foster around 1795 or shortly after. The syphon appears to be part of further improvements made by Thackray in or after 1813. The upper drain River Torne has since been diverted and the original course now fallen into disuse. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Rivers Places Bridges Buildings_and_Structures 1980's Waterways Althorpe | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
