[Denver, Norfolk] now enjoyed by many tourists, and Denver Sluice is the home of West Norfolk Rowing Club and Denver Sailing Club. Denver is home to a fully restored 19th-century [River Great Ouse] with the construction of sluices and locks. Bedford could be reached by river from 1689. A major feature was the sluice at Denver, which failed in 1713, [New Bedford River] England. It provides an almost straight channel between Earith and Denver Sluices. It is tidal, with reverse tidal flow being clearly visible at Welney [Cut-off Channel] River Lark and River Little Ouse in times of flood, delivering them to Denver Sluice on the River Great Ouse. In the summer months, it is also used as part [Old Bedford River] the New Bedford River 2 to 3 kilometres (1.2 to 1.9 miles) south of Denver Sluice. The names of the three waterways are rather inconsistent. At Welches [River Cam] built sluices at Jesus Green, Chesterton, Baits Bite and Clayhithe. Most of the tolls were collected at Clayhithe. Prior to 1722, Denver sluice had been [Cornelius Vermuyden] in the south at Mildenhall through Hockwold Cum Wilton northwards to Denver Sluice. At the latter village the River Little Ouse flows westwards off the [Earith] Bedford River and the New Bedford River, leave the river on a course to Denver Sluice near Downham Market, where they rejoin the Great Ouse in its tidal part [Gold mining] sources. Romans used hydraulic mining methods, such as hushing and ground sluicing on a large scale to extract gold from extensive alluvial (loose sediment) [Arvada, Colorado] a Georgia prospector headed for the California gold fields, dipped his sluice pan into a small stream near its mouth at Clear Creek.
