I agree with Rupert and you Cromwell, and Rupert your findings have been superb, you really should look more into the way water gets to certain things, I haven't explained that to well, but the way you find out how the water flows to the mills is brilliant. History is a brilliant subject, but...

Good research done there, but now I'm really going to act thick and ask is this all to do with Breamotts Mill? :flower: :cat:

Hubby and I were talking about our childhood the other evening, he was brought up in a back to back, I was brought up in a country village on a smallholding, we both had outside toilets, the only difference there was he had to...

Rupert where's the piccie ???

THE MILL THAT WAS NOT BUILT Going back to one of my questions about Halloughton Mill!! "Consideration was given to building a water wheel at Halloughton, an upshot wheel working from a variable water supply was to feed two pumps. This was so that the pump could suppy water to the Hall and fill a...

Thanks Di and Cromwell, when I first started this little baby on mills I always had the inclination that there would be a mill around the Marston Green area, but every book I looked at never said anything about a mill, then it was just by chance I was looking through the national archieves for...
