There is no evidence of it ever being used to grind snuff, though records show that it was used for corn. You can still see the last water wheel ever used. In its last years, it was steam powered. A very curious boiler was used, it was double egg ended, one of only three in the country. You can also see a large millstone, a smaller grindstone and various millstone fragments. Just beyond the mill, you can see the weir. The original sluice is still in action. Note the sheer overgrown quarry faces as you walk along.     Halfpenny Bridge Another mill, belonging to "Snuffly Jack was situated at the approach to this bridge. The particular mill.  Kynge's Mill Weir This weir is quite a dramatic feature. The mill stood on the opposite bank of the river. Nothing remains but a millstone next to the river just below this point. The mill was closely connected with Oldbury Court Estate. A little further along, a rather exotic looking bamboo plantation can be seen on the far side of the river. The path crosses the stream here, and the path which follows it to the river leads back to Oldbury Court Estate.  next>
