The image shown above is from an old postcard. It shows the mill with the miller's house beyond it, and a weir on the River Wye. The stack of wood in the centre of the picture was probably plucked from the river.

The mill in the
summer of 1998.

the far right shows

and the rock-cut
channel from the
mill pond
