Old Built Remains 4


This is looking incredibly like the severed base of a stone arch, particularly as a similar broken piece of stonework is on the opposite side of this small tailrace. If so, it would fit well with the concept in being the mid-point between it's (original) 12ft(?) diametre breastshot waterwheel and the corner wall of the previous, smaller mill (which is now in the heart of this Crabble Mill). The proportions seem to 'feel right'.

Interestingly, so far there is very little stone work. Most construction is in brick of varying ages and timberwork along with some chalkblock foundation stones.
