The old watermill at Oakley The mill which stands on the River Dove, a tributary of the Waveney, had an undershot wheel roughly six feet wide and probably ceased to operate in the early 1800s. In the early 1830s the wheel was removed and part of the building was converted into a laundry. The river which is to the right of the building, is not fast flowing and has much vegetation in places upstream. The tail-race and millpond are however relatively clear with a small weir a short distance downstream. Access was granted by the kind permission of the owner.
