Calver Mill water wheel house
Imposing 6 storey textile mill of 1803-04 that replaced an earlier mill of 1785. The wheelhouse on the left dates from 1834 and housed a pair of water wheels of 80 horsepower each. Now converted to apartments and secure behind electric gates. I got this view from undergrowth without trespassing beyond any barriers. It is a shame this magnificent former mill is so well hidden.
