More about this scene
One of many millponds used by the Sussex iron industry. The ponds stored water to drive waterwheels for powering furnace blowers, forging hammers for working wrought iron, and for driving lathes for boring cannon. Boringwheel Mill is nearby; it finished work as a corn mill site. The spire of the church of St Bartholomew is just visible on the hilltop. The Chequers is an old coaching inn built in 1734.
