A view of the meal floor, the flour can be seen coming out. One of the three tentering beams is also visible. Behind the wooden shuttering is the site of the pit wheel. The wallower and shaft for the great spur wheel survive. The pit wheel became disused after a water turbine connected straight to the great spur wheel was installed.
