Bovey Tracey: Pottery Pond

The pond was originally fed by a long leat from the Becka Brook up on Dartmoor, several miles away. In turn the pond powered machinery at Higher Mill, and probably Lower Mill too. These mills were part of the Bovey Pottery, which was expanded under the management of Mr Divett in the 1850s
