An abandoned Gritstone Millstone in Padley Gorge, Derbyshire.
A quiet wooded Derbyshire Gorge. One – time it would be far from a quiet location. One of many working stone cutting quarries initially shaping random gritstone boulders in to valuable Millstones and grinding wheels. Technology moved on and the need dried up and a once very valuable industry died.
Moody Monday, woody November weather but please still..
Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

I remember seeing this wheel on a previous occasion? A memory of the old days – quite different from today!
