bate mill

this is the disused 17/18th century water powered flour mill near lower withington Cheshire known as bate mill ,originally of timber frame infilled with brick , but much altered over the centuries

it's mill pool is fed from the brook that has the unusual name of peover eye

I understand that peover means "sparkling stream" which describes the brook perfectly

the bridge that carries the lane over the millpool looks to have been fairly recently rebuilt

it is a good spot to watch wildlife
