Britannia Creek Weir and Falls - Physical Description 1
The Britannia Creek Weir is historically linked to several other nearby sites, namely Cuming-Smith & Co. Wood Distillation Works (Place no. 176), Britannia Creek Tramway Sawmill Site 2 (Place no. 87), and Yellands Seasoning Kilns (Place no. 918).
The weir is located well upstream of the site of the Cuming-Smith & Co. Wood Distillation Works. The weir comprises a concrete wall and pondage, part of which is now filled with silt. It covers an area of approximately 50 square metres. A pipe projects from one side of the weir and another from the downstream face. The pipes emerge from the silted-up section of the weir, suggesting that the water regime is very different today that in the pastBritannia Creek Weir and Falls - Physical Conditions
