Buckfastleigh, The River Dart c.1955

More about this scene
The chimney in the background (right) is that of Berry's or Lower Mill, the last remnant of a once thriving industry. In 1964 it was producing 4,000 blankets every week, but the rise in popularity of the duvet put paid to that, and the mill turned to producing yarn for carpets. The chimney was demolished in 1979, but the Buckfast Spinning Company is still on the site.
