The overflow for the headrace which allows excess water to escape after excessive rain and down part of which the water is diverted when the mill is not being used was showing signs of its age. Built from sandstone blocks a number of these had broken up and been lost from the surface and a number were showing lamination and were starting to break up. the gaps in the stonework were allowing plants to colonise the cascade and this was causing further damage.
Last week contractors have replaced the missing stones and those that were deteriorating on the lower part of the cascade after the mill volunteers had cleared this years vegetation growth from it.
