The old mill in Arloff (Bad Münstereifel municipality, Euskirchen district) on the River Erft was indebted to the lord of the nearby Arloff Castle. The Erft not only allowed the operation of numerous water mills, it was also the cause of frequent, sometimes devastating floods, such as in July 2021. The sandbags are still a remnant of the fight against the flood.

There was a frost overnight and it turned a bit chilly and overcast today. Went for a walk around Caldbeck a lovely picture postcard village with duckpond and sheep milling about on the common land. First stop was a short walk following the River Cald Beck to Priest’s Mill for a hot chocolate with cream of course #getoutside #caldbeck #cumbria #watermills
Want to explore the historic mills of Anglesey? I've just updated my Google Map of Anglesey Windmills, adding corn watermills, fulling and woollen mills, tidal mills and industrial/farming mills. You can see the list of mills at https://www.anglesey-history.co.uk/other-mills/ and the map of them at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1MWpXARhESfLh_Q3l4Moe7uYZ-w8&hl=en&usp=sharing
It's always interesting to see a past #landscape through the eyes of the people who inhabited it. This beautifully drawn and painted #map shows the #bridges, #weirs and #watermills across the river #Trent between Nottingham and Newark in the early 16thC in such loving detail that one can almost imagine standing on each site with the cartographer as he sketches.
The (enlargeable) map is online at https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/map-of-the-river-trent-and-its-tributaries-between-nottingham-and-newark
