The Water Mill
by PeterKR
This is still a working mill. The original Water Wheel is still there on the other side of the building. The modern mechanism is a screw turbine, located just behind the bridge (centre view) which drives an electricity generator to power the mill.
Best viewed large !

All the gear & no idea.
Although this place is less than a mile, 'as the crow flies' from where we live it is the other side of the river so it's a very long ride to get there. That's why there are lots more shots of it from 'over the water' !
They hold a craft fair there every May Bank Holiday and this year we were lucky with a sunny day.
Thanks again
Peter
Must visit it soon.
