of roof structure are older. Machinery on the ground floor, with iron wheels and
apple wood cogs, drives a belt to roller mill on the top floor and a pair of stones
on the first floor. There is a coupling after the pit-wheel which can be disengaged
to stop all machinery and there is a sluice which can be opened.
