For #ThrowbackThursday , did you know that the name 'Cogglesford' first appears in the sixteenth century due to a legal dispute about the tithe payments from the miller Thomas Horsman. πππ

Continuing measuring things against Rob, today we have our Pit Wheel! This cast iron wheel is directly connected to our waterwheel (behind the white wall). It is about 1 and a half Rob's tall as it sits in a pit at the bottom, hence the name Pit Wheel!

Due to the maintenance being undertaken here at Cogglesford we have been able to get up close and hands on with parts of the machinery that we would otherwise not be able to. Here is Rob with one of the paddles from our waterwheel, it is just over 1 Rob tall!πππ

Thanks to all who visited on milling dayπΎ
Apologies if you missed seeing the mill working β a few issues weβre getting sorted.
PS: Andy is not floating down the River β just his name badge, lost during river clearing (a tough end to his weekend after the rugby).
