Springbank Mills, Dunblane - water turbine
This derelict textile mill still contained a Robey steam engine and two water turbines. This is one of the turbines. The runner is through the wall and submerged. On this side of the wall are the drive pulley and the governor. The mill was later converted to accommodation and lost most of its character. The steam engine was scrapped but it is possible parts of the turbines may still survive. Given the current interest in microhydropower it is even possible the site still generates (possibly with new turbines).

Former Springbank Mill
Built in 1851, extended in 1888, the former mill was mainly engaged in wool spinning. It was the last mill to close on the Allan Water (in 1980). Now converted for residential use, it is Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB26426.

Springbank Mills (converted)
There is very little recognisable left of the mills as I saw them in 1982 & 1983. The site was derelict by 1983 and we just walked in to see the steam engine and water turbine.

The former Springbank Mills, Dunblane
A rather flat and against the light shot of a building that has been converted to within an inch of its life. The archway on the right may have been the tail race from the water turbine. I had completely forgotten taking these pictures and they form a sad contrast to the earlier monochrome images.
