Clapper gates are a distinctive type of self-closing double gate, unique to the navigable reaches of the River Trent.[1] They were erected along the towpath of the river in the 18th century, and allow people and horses to pass through the field boundaries on the river bank, but prevent livestock from straying.[2]
