This shows the clothing and furniture on three pairs of French burr stones. The central wooden shaft and crown wheel drove the sack hoist to the left and a dresser (no longer present) to the right. This is an interesting mill for which there is a preservation Trust that is trying to raise money for its preservation. There is another incomplete set of machinery at the north end and the remains of a former drying kiln.
