The pipes uncovered by work on the fish pass are believed to have once linked the tannery In Corve St with the pumping station at Mill St and appear on a map from the 1862 though what they carried, and what they may still contain is anybody’s guess.

We will never know because the fish pass plans have been adapted to seal them in concrete. Work is once more progressing. The floor of the fish pass is now laid and the walls are now up.
