EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1865 showcases the impressive Woodhouse Mill property, located along the enchanting stream of the River Rother up to Beighton Weir. The mill itself is a sight to behold, boasting a remarkable five pairs of French Stones, one pair of Grey Stones, and one pair of shelling stones. Additionally, it houses two Dressing machines, Corn Screens, Bean Splitting Mill, three Sack tables, granaries, and a Garner Room capable of storing an astounding 3,000 loads of grain. The attention to detail in this property is truly exceptional. A state-of-the-art drying kiln on an improved principle stands proudly alongside a commodious and well-lighted office or counting house. Furthermore, there is even a saw mill with three circular saw tables for all woodworking needs. Powering these incredible works are both water and steam engines. A robust water wheel generating 25 horse-power joins forces with a condensing steam engine capable of producing 20-horse power but fully equal to an impressive 28 horse-power. This powerhouse setup includes two tubular boilers measuring at 21 x 4 feet each. Beyond the main mill structure lies additional amenities that cater to its dedicated workforce. Five cottages provide comfortable living spaces for workers while ensuring they have their own gardens for relaxation. Stabling accommodations for eight horses are available alongside yards, piggeries (pig pens), hen houses (chicken coops), pigeon cotes (dovecots), sheds as well as other outbuildings. This historical gem is captured in meticulous detail on this print which serves as a testament to the grandeur and functionality of Woodhouse Mill in its prime years.
