I'm a city girl, so I won't be much good at this one! There looks to be a screw mechanism in the middle and a pulley wheel, but other than I've got nothing!

Ah, Mark, I forgot about Lawrence!

Yeah, Julie, I'm wondering if it's some kind of sluice gate from the ponds and streams that cross the land the building is on....

I'll take your word for it, Bob, but it does make sense, with the pulley et al. Would your contact Lawrence be able to give us the definitive answer??

Sorry to have taken so long to respond... I have been preoccupied with our annual organic license inspection. And I have to say I haven't a clue what it is/was. It would help to know what is on the other ends of the screw and the chain. There must be a connecting piece missing between the respective holes in the two arms and the top arm would exaggerate any effect of the screw in raising the bottom arm - and that would affect the chain if it used to pass round the wheel at the tip... So it might have controlled a light duty sluice gate?

It makes a good photo though!
