Blackcarr Belt

Euston watermill on the Black Bourn Disused watermill. Late C18/early C19. In red brick with black glazed pantiled roof: designed to look like a church, with a small crenellated tower. Pointed Gothic windows to top stage. The machinery is complete. The waterwheel drove a single pair of stones and also a reciprocating pump for raising water up to a tank in the tower, which provided the water supply for Euston Hall. A watermill was included in the estate as purchased by Lord Arlington in the 1660's: this is presumably a rebuilding on the same site.
