Dated 1906, it shows the rear of the remains of the watermill from the floodgates.
It is a much more pleasing scene than the present day, with well maintained hedge and pathway.
Examination of a quality print, from Francis Frith, appears to show the presence of a water wheel in the right hand wheel house. This is being investigated further.
On the right hand bank is a boat house and, behind that, another roofed building. These no longer exist.
It is worth comparing this with the modern photo to see how the walls have been repaired.
