originally with wooden sole-boards and buckets. The interior retains all its
original machinery, including a spur-wheel which is over-driven, and 4 pairs of

lines of counter shaft off the extended teeth of the spur-wheel. There are no

formerly the mill to the Harracles Hall Estates owned by a branch of the
Wedgewood family.
