Shacklow Mill

I've driven past this site on my way to work for the last few years and often wandered what this site was all about as only the main buildings are visible from the road.

 

On close inspection it turned out to be a an old mill site with the remnants of multiple water wheels which were once used for grinding bones for fertiliser. The site also includes an old pumping station once used for pumping water up to Sheldon village 500 feet above.

 

For anyone interested in old industrial ruins or HDR photography this is a great site.
