Mickley Riverworks

Filed under Ford, Medieval, Water Works, Weir

Anglers and canoeists still talk of “Roman Ford” on the Swinton fishing beat immediately upstream of Mickley (turn4search0) and the name appears in estate fish-catch returns from the 1920s. The idea is that a paved crossing pre-dated the weir and was later buried beneath it. No Roman finds have been reported to PAS or the Historic Environment Record.
