Description: | 1968. Springfield Mill from the air, taken from above Woodlands Drive looking towards Rooms Lane. The houses in Rooms Lane seen are, from left to right: (1) Hughenden with its extension to the house behind, (2) The Lodge for Hughenden, (3) Treefield, (4) Vaynol Gate and (5) part of the Bramleighs and houses in Springfield Lane.
Practically the whole of the mill is still standing but most of the work is done in the low buildings at the back of the plant i.e. away from the Springfield Lane entrance to the mill yard. The land all around the mill is well farmed and Hield Bros. have changed over to covered wagons from flat trucks. There is a large dam for storing water in the centre of the mill and white patches in the field near to the Lodge show where lime was added to the water to make it compatible with town water.
