Description: | Arkwright's mill was built in 1783, but has been substantially added to since. A leat supplied water from the River Derwent. This was used to drive a waterwheel, which powered the mill until the 20th century. Sluice gates such as this one regulated to flow of water to the wheels. | Subjects: | Textile Mill Machinery Sluice Gate Engineering And Technology | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Skingle, B | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
