Details
WALKiIAMPTON WALKHAMPTON SX 56 SW 17/144 Walkham Mill - - II
Wheelwright's shop. Circa mid C19, extended in C20. Stone rubble walls. Gable ended corrugated iron roof. Plan: The original building is rectangular on plan consisting of one large workshop. The water wheel which drives the machinery is detached from the building and adjoined the right-hand wall at the rear. In the late C19 the building began to be extended by a blacksmith's'shop built on along the left-hand wall and in the C20 a large addition was made at the right-hand side constructed of corrugated sheeting. Exterior: 2 storeys. The entrance is in the gable end which has a wide opening on both ground and 1st floors and a small window below the gable. Lean-to addition of former blacksmith's shop against left-hand wall with doorway in its gable end. Extensive C20 corrugated addition to right. The overshot water wheel at the rear is served by wooden launders but is now enclosed. Interior: The gearing and shafts driven by the wheel still survive. in situ and are functional. This is an unusual example of a purpose built wheelwright's shop still performing its original function and with its original source of power still operative.
