Water from the Nether Cut Wheel mill-pond outlet rejoining the River Rivelin. The Nether Cut mill pond, water wheel and workshops (a.k.a. the New Wheel, Marshall’s Wheel and Kay Wheel) were constructed c.1719 but were then completely rebuilt 60 years later. This small scale industrial unit was used for cutlery-making and scythe grinding until c.1939, it being the last mill in the valley to be worked by a water wheel. The mill was demolished c. 1956 and although all traces of it have now disappeared the mill pond behind the photographer has been preserved for fishing.
