This is a former copper rolling mill dating back to 1787 and used for supplying copper plate for sheathing ships' bottoms, among other uses. It was powered by a water wheel and the remains of a leat can be seen between two buttresses on the dam that is supporting the photographer. There is also a picturesque overflow weir. This is one of several ruins preserved along the valley and is well worth a visit.
