Image: © David Hallam-Jones Taken: 27 Oct 2012
A derelict factory or warehouse overlooks the reed-enriched goit (mill race) - a spur of water that comes off the River Don - that once powered the water wheels of yesteryear. On the left of the picture the outline of one edge of the mid-19th century Bessemer Converter that stands at the visitor's entrance to the Kelham Island Museum. The former boiler house chimney stack stands to one side of what is now "The Chimney House" function suite and beyond that a single block in the "Kelham Riverside" mixed development complex is visible.
