River Wandle at Merton Abbey Mills
Merton Abbey Mills are here on the left of the Wandle and the Wandle Trail is on the right. Just ahead on the left by the bend, the delightfully named Pickle Ditch leaves the Wandle to rejoin it at Merton High Street. Merton Abbey Mills dates originally from 1724 when a calico printing works was established within the walls of what had been Merton Priory. The premises were then taken over in the early 1830s by Edmund Littler, who specialised in the printing of silks and fine fabrics for the luxury market. In 1904 Arthur Lasenby Liberty took over the Merton Abbey Works completely and demolished many of the old buildings, replacing them with more modern workshops. Liberty & Co ceased production here in 1972 and the premises was finally closed in 1982. The site is now a market with craft workshops and refreshment places.

The waterwheel at Merton Abbey Mills
The waterwheel on the River Wandle at Merton Abbey Mills dates from about 1860 and is London's only working example. Liberty used it to drive spools to rinse the silk after gumming and printing. This view looks upriver. See also https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6560966
