Mill Road, Okehampton
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 12 Oct 2010
A rather busy road with no pavement along this stretch past the Town Mill. The mill building at the centre is an early C19 water mill presrving its overshot iron water-wheel at the left side http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-93370-town-mill-okehampton . The buildings on the left were a manure and vitriol works, closed after "the pipe broke and caused smells in the town" http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-93384-chimney-about-50-metres-west-north-west-o .
