The paint mill is thought to be one of the first structures to be built in the midsection of the valley. It was probably built in the 1600s as a very early lead
smelting mill. It became a bleaching mill and its final use was for grinding
barytes for the paint industry. Some of the ground around the Paint Mill has been
contaminated with chemicals and does not support much ground cover.
Towards the dam wall, there is a French burr grinding stone. This has been
specially imported due to its superior quality. At the foot of the dam wall is what
is now called the Saw Mill which was built in the 1850s. It was originally used for
grinding minerals for paint.
Behind the Paint Mill is a
circular stone through which
was used for bleaching hanks
of yarn. The field located on
the other side of the brook was
a tenter field. This was where
cloth was stretched out to
complete the bleaching and
drying process. The tunnel
beneath the steps gave access
to a small bridge across the
stream.
The large Grinding Mill was built into the rock beside the waterfall around 1770
(probably as a corn mill) but it also ground red lead. It contains a wheel pit which
can be seen from the viewing platform. The water was fed on to the wheel from
the cast iron pipe.
The tree cover makes a rich area for woodland birds and it is possible to see
dippers in the stream. Standing dead wool, ivy and rocks encourage bats and
invertebrates whilst badgers and foxes also visit. Tawney owls are heard
regularly. Ferns and mosses flourish in the damp, shady conditions.
The lower pond was built in the 1950s as a holding pond to ensure a continuous
supply of water power to drive machinery and keep the workers busy in mills
further down the valley. It is on a site which used to be an old quarry and was
constructed with a stepped dam. A feeder pipe which is visible on the outside of
the dam wall supports the idea that water power was used to drive the Grinding
mill which late became the Saw mill.
The Lower pond has been dredged and restored many times. It had been
dredged in 1983 and lately in 2014 as part of the Lumsdale Projects Heritage
Lottery Fund award.
The middle Pond located on the upper side of the row of cottages was built in the
1780s. It was created as a holding pond to supply water further down in the
valley. The pond had become completely blocked with slit but was restored by
the Arkwright Societys Lumsdale Project. A lot of the silt continues to wash of
the moors above the valley and into Bentley Brook. It is then deposited into the
ponds which causes problems for the pond users.
The chimney is located in the bottom of wood across from the lane of the Lower
pond. It provided the draw for flues. This extended underground from the
Gartons Mill.

Soane demolished and rebuilt three houses. He began with No. 12 (between
1792 and 1794). Soane

then purchased No. 13. He
had moved into No. 13, Soane rented out his former home at No. 12 (on his
death it was left to the nation along with No. 13, the intention being that the
rental income would fund the running of the Museum). In 1823, when he was
over 70, he purchased a third house, No. 14, which he rebuilt in 182324.

The Victoria and Albert was originally established in 1852. Its founding principle
was to make works of art available to all, to educate working people and to
inspire British designers and manufacturers. Since its foundation is has become
one of the world's greatest resources of art and design, housed in one of the
finest groups of Victorian buildings in Britain. The Museum moved to its present
site in 1857. Aston Webb designed the main building of the Victoria and Albert
Museum.
Villa Savoye
Villa Savoye was designed by Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret in
1929-1931. It was built in the time of the great depression. It takes the shape of
a rectangular
prism which has been placed on columns.
Materials such as glass,
reinforced concrete and steel
were used. He drew
inspiration from the machine
age.
