More about this scene
Now used as a forge, the old mill was originally used for the grinding of corn. The old water wheel in the mill was also used to provide electricity for the whole village, which only joined the National Grid in around 1960. Miss Billenge, who then ran the mill, always kept the wheels turning to provide the power, although at times lights would flicker throughout the village if too much power was being used at any one time.
