Holme Mills sluice and River Ivel Navigation disused lock. This sluice is part of the water level control equipment on the River Ivel at Holme Mills. Originally the river flowed through Holme Mills but when the River Ivel Navigation was extended from Biggleswade upstream to Shefford in 1823 a series of locks were built to bypass the various mills. The Navigation was abandoned in 1876 when the competition from the railways made transport by boat uneconomic.
