Belper - World Heritage Site

Derwent Valley, Derbyshire. Wed 30 Dec 2015

  
 
 This channel in the Riverside Gardens was dug to bring water to power the North Mill

 

 

 The stream goes to the left in front of the East Mill, then turns and flows underneath close to the left edge

 of the building

 and along its East side

 to a low building where it still turns turbines to generate electricity for the site

 Gates on the east side of the East Mill are raised to allow the flow
