The water just above the bridge is swept into a channel and forced to turn the wheel which works some primitive machinery within.
In the centre of the mill's front is an archway through which carts pass into the paved square behind.

Here is the weighbridge, and here great bundles of heavy-smelling fleeces are unloaded.

Off the square is the office where Mr.Quinn sits, pays for the wool, and enters the weight of it in damp ledgers.

Here on Saturdays two or three men and a score of girls receive their wages.

The business is a peculiar one.
