Whitwood Mill was home to a particular type of steam boiler - a double egg-ended no less! To quote the information attached to it: This double egg-ended boiler was installed in about 1850 to provide power for a 12hp steam engine. It is the only one in its original working location in the country. After 1889 the mill wheel and the steam engine were used to power a six-bladed saw, which cut stone brought from the nearby quarries.
