SX7467 : Buckfast Lower Mill

taken 15 years ago, near to Buckfast, Devon, England

Buckfast Lower Mill
Buckfast Lower Mill
Home to the Buckfast Spinning Company, a modern textile operation and one of the few left in the West Country. It supplies all the yarn for Axminster carpets. There are a few older buildings that I couldn't get a satisfactory view of and a leat that probably supplies a water turbine. Buckfast Abbey is seen in the background.
