An alloy metal plaque from “sluice gate specialists” Gote Engineering Ltd of 40 Fengate.
Chris Bennett adds, “Gote Engineering Ltd was a subsidiary company of Root Harvesters Ltd who manufactured potato and vegetable harvesters among other agricultural products for many years at their factory in Fengate. Gote is an old English word for a watercourse and as Gote Engineering made and repaired sluice gates the name seems quite appropriate.”
