The water wheel on the gable end was used to drive the machinery to spin the cotton. The separate longer wheel was connected to machinery in another mill building, now ruined, but both mill wheels have now been reconnected to the original water supply and it is hoped that their motion will be harnessed for practical use in the future. </p><p>As well as the wheels, the mill has displays of the Fleet Valley, a welcoming café, a shop and special exhibitions.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1775
