This water wheel once supplied power to Image], though it looks as though it's been a number of years since it last turned. Perhaps with the growth of interest in renewable energy resources, it could be harnessed up to an electricity generator and have a new lease of life. Behind the wheel can be seen the wooden railing atop a little footbridge which crosses the mill race here. (see also Image])
