In the cutting season the river weed, drifting in tangled mats from the fishing reaches above, was held against this grating and raked out of the pool by men in waders, who piled it to be used as compost.
Während der Erntezeit blieb das Flußunkraut, das in verfilzten Matten von den Fischgründen darüber angetrieben wurde, an diesem Gitter hängen und wurde von Männern in Wasserstiefeln aus dem Becken geharkt, aufgehäuft und als Dünger verwendet.

Der Brand hatte das Unterholz verschwinden lassen, doch die Kältewellen der Hydroger hatten wie Sprengstoff gewirkt und ganze Bäume zerfetzt. Hier und dort bildeten ihre Splitter ein wirres Durcheinander.
