Bowston Weir
Bowston Weir on the River Kent near Burneside in Cumbria.
The fish ladders in the weir are steps built to help the salmon and trout leap the weir to reach their spawning grounds upstream..In 1880 James Cropper bought the fulling mill at Bowston and used it to prepare rags and ropes for the Burneside and Cowan Head paper mills. In 1879 a narrow gauge tramway was built along the river bank to link all three mills.
