Kelston Brass Mill

Kelston Brass Mill, near Bristol, processed brass, using water power, making brass goods which were sent to West Africa where they were exchanged for slaves, who were sent across to the West Indies, where they grew sugar which was sent to Bristol for refining. Doesn't look like a dark, satanic, mill nowadays.
