A reworking of an earlier image. Sadly, I suspect this lovely historical relic was damaged or lost some months after the shot was taken, in the bushfires of December 2019.
Found this link that tells the history of this photo. Check it out if you're interested.

UPDATE: This whole area burned down in the Santiam Fire of 2020
As some could not see this in my SSC post this week as a view in a comment box , here it is standing in it's own right , even if all it does is go round and round . Well it does on open days when the mill can be explored on the second Sunday of the month I believe .
This picturesque early 19th century mill, is situated in delightful surroundings on the banks of the River Mole. It is Grade II listed and is the only surviving fully working watermill in Surrey. It was originally part of a much larger mill complex that once stood alongside. Its rural location next to the nearby weirs, the views over the adjacent fields and farmland, and the variety of local wildlife, make it ideally placed for leisurely exploration..
Come and discover how, after having been abandoned, vandalised, and allowed to fall into disrepair for decades, the mill has been restored and brought back to life. Now, with what remained of the original machinery recovered, carefully restored and reassembled, and some replacement parts manufactured, the milling of corn can once again be demonstrated.
The mill is operated and maintained by volunteers. The unavoidable costs of maintenance and repair are met by The Cobham Millers with the help and support of The Environment Agency and generous donations from visitors and the people of Cobham. There is limited selection of souvenirs that can be bought at the Mill. Also, flour produced by the mill, is occasionally available.
The mill is open on the second Sunday of the month from April to October 2pm–5pm.
The milling of corn is carried out during these openings, and a short video presentation about the mill and its restoration is shown at intervals.
First, in line, William Laughlin built a three-story log gristmill on the Cumberland County frontier. In order to generate power to turn the grindstone, he built a dam that provided water power equal to that of fifteen horses to turn the waterwheel. Laughlin's was the first mill on Big Spring and it ground wheat and other grain for the people in the surrounding countryside. Laughlin's mill continued to produce whole wheat flour until 1896 when the Laughlin family sold it to the Newville Water Company, which removed the milling equipment and installed a turbine to drive hydraulic pumps that supplied the town's municipal water mains.
A working revolutionary war grist mill. Re-built and restored in 1975. Water runs under the building and turns the wheel, operating the mill on the second and third floors. Looks better large.
Another build from me, coming soon to an RPG near you! :D
I wanted to use my waterwheel from the Summer Joust in another context, and to be honest, yeah, I like it better here! Was great to finally get to use some of those gorgeous leaves that Geneva had sitting around from the treehouse too, and I was really happy how this turned out!
Thanks for viewing, and C&C are welcome as always!

The old, overshot waterwheel that powers the historic Pears Mill in downtown Buchanan, Michigan, is scheduled to be replaced in the spring.
Taken for the "Flickr Friday" theme of 12/1/2023: WHEELS.
This old waterwheel, paddles broken off, used for Hydro Electrical generation many years ago, is on the Waihou walkway on the upper Waihou stream and downstream from the photo titled " Pure Water" shown below.
The water is pure and exceptionally clear having been in aquifers between 50 - 100 years. It is a stunning walk and well worth the effort, highly recommended.
This stream supplies Putaruru with all its water and is not filtered in any way, just upstream at Blue Springs the water is used to supply NZ with 70% of all its bottled water pumped from a very small pump house.
Very tricky to take this shot as no space for tripod to get decent composition and had to be hand held but wanted to get the spokes with motion, keep part of photo sharp, and get reasonable exposure on water.

The Dyfi Furnace is a charcoal-burning blast furnace built around 1755. It is probably the best-preserved example of this type of industrial furnace in Britain. The industrial heritage of Furnace goes back long before the mill was established here. In the 17th century, the area was known for silver, lead, and copper mining.
