East Mill, Darley Abbey
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 26 Mar 2011
Part of the Boar's Head Mill complex at Darley Abbey. This building is c1818-21. In the left foreground are the remains of the head-race sluices for the waterpower installation in the Middle Mill that is out of field to the left. The water flowed under the road, which was on a bridge at this point. Apparently the mills' water supply was lost in 1969 and the head race is all under tarmac now.
