SD5828 : Red Rocks Collapsed Weir on the River Darwen

Red Rocks Collapsed Weir on the River Darwen
On the 29th December 2012, around 9am, due to the high level of water in the River Darwen following the floods earlier in the year, the weir at Red Rocks, originally built for the mill downstream, collapsed causing the level of the Darwen in that area to drop 4 mtrs and changing the landscape. Prior to this, the river cascaded over the top of the weir in a dramatic way as shown in a previous photograph I submitted and has now gone back to the course it was before the mill weir was built.
