Barnsley in Polyptych(#26), Worsbrough Mill
Originally, a polyptych was a religious piece on an alter which had four or more hinged panels. Each panel displayed a relief or painting. I've used this artistic technique to create a themed photographic sequence or a group of pictures of a particular part of buildings, monuments etc located in Barnsley.
Each composition consists of photographs taken in Barnsley, a town in South Yorkshire, England.
________
Worsbrough Mill is a complex of buildings including a seventeenth-century water-powered mill and a nineteenth-century steam-powered mill in Worsbrough, Barnsley, England. The mill is open to the public and takes its water from the River Dove.
Worsbrough Mill was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and the first Curator, [Rob Shorland-Ball – 1975 to 1979] researched the history and states that a "tenuous but continuous documentary record can be traced from then to 1625 which is the likely date for the building of the existing Old Mill. Whether the pre-1625 mill(s) were on the same site is not known. However, a mill was a very important part of the feudal pattern of life and settlement and thus tended to remain on the same site if that site was a satisfactory one".
