England's industrial heritage, from when water power was predominant.

Now thats pretty faultless,    was that the drone stitching or manual?  Also whats that behind you in the wall,  a hole with a sign?

No I did that manually with the App you suggested.
I needed a couple of goes to get it looking reasonable. Colour adjustment using the same App.

The sign behind me says Rock Mill. That was another mill  which was largely demolished, just the foundations remaining.

I did wonder if that was the case.  It does seem to do a good job,


So is that a hole by the sign or a window?

Hard to tell, but I'd guess at a doorway.

Must make a visit here when the sun’s shining a bit more - lovely looking place

It's very popular, and of course the Archimedes' screw generator is an attraction.

You mean youve not explored in there?

Very cool. Is it a museum?

DAFlys Posted at 4-19 03:08

Nope. Not likely  to either

Depp Posted at 4-19 03:17

No. But some parts of it are used commercially.
Exhibition hall, Night club, coffee shop, cheese retailer.

You need Depp,  he likes to send his drone into tight spaces.

Splendid 360 Mr. B.    Isn't that also the location of the Archimedes' Screw that you have highlighted in the past?

DAFlys Posted at 4-19 04:33

I don't think there's any space. It's just filled with soil and grass.
I'll check next time I walk past.

Nearby - about 200yds back along the gravel path, through the arches.

To satisfy your curiosity:
I've just dodged out between showers to deposit some books at the Charity shop, so I looped back from the village through the Torrs.
From above, rock mill is completely covered in soil and foliage. From below, where the path passes, it's about 10 metres up a steep bank to the hole in the foundations.
I managed to get a snap of it, in which you might just make out, it might be possible to crawl in on hands and knees if it weren't for all the ivy festooning the entrance.

I thought so.  Hope you are having a good weather day.  Nice here and in fact I'm getting ready to go scuba diving shortly.  Water temp is 27C.

You have the best of it. Alternate spells of sun and rain here and the temperature has barely made double figures.

Dang, we've got to get you some summer type weather soon but not at the 36-37 C temps we get for about 6 months of the year.  I'm guessing you'd prefer 24-25 C.

I'd settle for anything above 20C right now

Im getting the feeling it doesnt go very far in there.    And no one has ventured in for a while.

Ah, you just want to warm up but not sweat.  Got it.

That looks like the caves on the IG post I sent you the other day     Began with a D but I cant recall the name.

Where's your sense of adventure mr B.

It's not there. If I zoom out a bit, you'll be able to Google Lens it, which would be too easy
Here's a clue - it's not really a cave.

It never came back from it's last outing

Blériot53 Posted at 4-20 04:48

I believe that would be called moderate temperatures.

Don't start in on your annual wind-up about our respective weather already

That wasn't my intent.  In fact I've tried hard to not bring up the weather here.

It's mainly a British thing. We moan about the weather ALL the time
Too cold, too wet, too dull, too hot ....

Here we kind of pride ourselves in having ideal weather which I guess that is why Florida took on the nickname of Sunshine State.  So when we have bad weather it gets very upsetting to us sun lovers.

Does that make it a mine shaft then?

Blériot53 Posted at 4-21 05:43

Well I hope it went out in a bang.

Blériot53 Posted at 4-20 07:29

A few places spring to mind,

Cromford Moor mine
Eagle mine
Black rocks.

Not a mine. Think quarry......

DAFlys Posted at 4-21 23:20

It kind of sneaked away surreptitiously.  It's probably and age thing

DAFlys Posted at 4-21 23:43

None of those. It's quarrying-related.
