The Old Textile Mill at the head of Thruscross Reservoir. At the time that the picture was taken the Reservoir was very low and much more of the mill than is usual was visible. The mill stood at the entrance to the village of West End which was flooded in 1966 in order to construct the reservoir. Standing high on a hill above the mill are the ruins of an old chapel which escaped the flooding due to its elevation.
