There had certainly been some cost incurred here though with the brickwork and capping.
Any ideas, Happyman?

It looks like a leat feeding water to a mill of some sort.
The bricks appear to be a dark colour and the cement very white .
If I am correct then the bricks are oil fired "Staffordshire Blue" waterproof bricks and the white cement is a high lime content waterproof cement.
Both indicate the mid to late Victorian period.
Any reference as to where it is ?
