Houghton, The Mill 1899
Photo ref:

More about this scene
There has been a watermill at Houghton since 974. Mills were frequently rebuilt, and this mill replaces one that was burnt down in the 17th century. The three huge water wheels drove the three pairs of grinding stones, and when the mill was working the steady rumble of the mill machinery would have been a familiar sound. There are two footbridges beside the mill leading to the water meadows. A man is rowing across the millrace.
