A very pretty mill that dates from c1810 and was originally used for woollen cloth manufacture, then silk throwing and finally elasticated fabric manufacture. It is now owned by Renishaw for the manufacture of high-tech measuring equipment. This view may be seen in many books on Gloucestershire mills and industrial archaeology. I should have been in Yorkshire photographing trains but it was snowing up there!
