On the question I think Tilly gets it

The question mentions millwheels and not mills ( o God the jesuits are coming ! ) and you need a decent oomph or velocity and that is produced by a mill-race

a leat is any sort of any kind of conduit

anyone been to Morwellham ?

[Tilly2]

Well it's either races or leats. It does say trenches or ditches, though. So it's probably leats.

[Tilly2]

Sue, would races fit?

[Mosaic]

Leet, or race

[vakayu]

The answer is leats,35 across plebs.

[Tilly2]

Plebs, vakayu! That's not very nice. :-)

Sorry it is part of the crossword.

[Tilly2]

That's ok then.
