Matlock & Lumsdale

Matlock, Derbys. Sat 29 Dec 2018



 

 

 I think this is the Grinding Mill

 

 The Paint Mill

 a large circular stone trough

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Lower Pond - ponds were needed to ensure a constant supply of water to the mills below

 

 Looking down from the waterfall out of the Lower Pond - my feet at bottom left

 

 Cottages beside the stream leading between the Middle Pond and the Lower Pond

 Water flows out of the Middle Pond. The Upper Pond is no longer a pond but a boggy area in the woods.
 The Middle Pond was made in the 1780s, but had become silted and isn't shown on OS maps of the area. It was reinstated in 2014.

 

 These stepping stones are the remains of an earlier bridge here

 The Upper Pond was in an area now woodland

 The Middle Pond, taken as I walked down the valley

 I kept to the road , mainly to move faster, except for one short steep path that cuts off a long detour

 

 and was soon back at the Lower Bleach Mill

 and then at Tansley Wood Mills

 

 The chimney has gone and the building is part derelict

 

 

 but parts are still in use

I took the road at right, leading down towards Matlock
