Dist:0.6km north<br/>A party from ISSES (International Stationary Steam Engine Society) is investigating this lovely mill with a very large indoor waterwheel. In this exposed location it was necessary to protect the wheel from the elements (e.g. wind loading and ice formation). The metal trough is the high breast shot water supply.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>The top of the waterwheel house is visible - shallow pitched roof to the left of the chimney. Home to what is claimed to be the world's largest indoor waterwheel. Certainly is big. At the base of the chimney (out of shot) are the decaying remains of a Goodbrand economiser.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>Installed 1861. high breast-shot 13.74m diameter x 1.52m wide. 40 horsepower. In this exposed location it needs to be indoors to protect it from freezing and high winds. "Probably the largest wheel in a Yorkshire Mill".

Dist:0.6km east<br/>This is a 44' wheel. Although very delicate and with a rim drive, it is not a suspension wheel. The rim is supported by wooden spokes in compression and there is diagonal wrought iron bracing of each pair of spokes to stop lozenging. A suspension wheel is like a bicycle wheel with spokes in tension.
