Old Built Remains 3

This line of 'headers' (original top brick course) is working in a smooth downward direction as it gets closer to the exterior, straighter sections of the watercourse. Obviously built very deliberately, has form and function, and is in-tact. I'm informed this curvature in three directions is referred to as "batter".

It's worth noting that these walls seem to be some of the strongest walls in and around Crabble Mill. When we originally restored the Mill, whilst there were leaks and some degree of subsidence elsewhere. This location appears to be very much stable, perhaps some of the oldest on-site.
