A little better view of the bridge from behind the mill. The headrace has one side of the wall remaining, then is capped off about 12' prior to entering the mill through a pipe of some sort.

The mill straight on 14 years after the first picture was taken. The ivy has been taken off and brush trimmed back. The mill contains some of the original gears, shafts, rollers and the millstone crane.
