Footpath 95CR climbing pond bay by Valebridge Mill site There is quite a lot of masonry to the left of the path, rather hard to photograph, and that is nearly all that is left of the mill and its house beyond.

There is quite a lot of masonry to the left of the path, rather hard to photograph, and that is nearly all that is left of the mill and its house beyond.

Remains of Valebridge Mill Rather hard to photograph in bright dappled sunlight, there is a substantial masonry vertical rear face to the pond bay, but it is hard to work out how the mill fitted in, and all other traces visible are gone.

Tail race, former Valebridge Mill Mapped as having a sluice through the pond bay, but no mechanism was noted. The water probably largely comes from a drain from the north entering a short way below the pond bay.

Spillway, Valebridge Pond There are two spillways, this narrower one is evidently set a little lower than the other, as only the narrower one was passing a significant flow. It might be a good idea to repair the collapsed wing wall, otherwise the pond bay could get eroded away.
