Steps down to the mills at Booth Wood

There were at one time four mills in the valley below making creative use of the Booth Dean stream. Here the steps descend to the sites of Spring Mill and Booth Wood Paper Mill. Both are now part of local history. No doubt mill workers used these steps day after day to get to and from work. It must have been a weary ascent at the end of a working day.
