Default Cobham Mill

Situated on the River Mole-Surrey. It's thought that the original wooden mill was there in the 16th century.

These are great. I like the colors. The green in the water is what i saw first and my eyes followed up to the mill. The web shot is great too!

The UK does history very well, and this is no exception. One of the many protected, loved and maintained projects throughout the country and you capture and present it beautifully.
Love the colours, the textures, the water and the oldness of it, good job moi.

If you ever get near Rossett in N Wales, theres a beautiful mill dating from the sixteenth century

Many thanks for the tip,Beach...............Wales is a truly beautiful place!

You're right about the history..............I feel very lucky to be able to go back and enjoy all the results of people's hard work in conservation/restoration.

Thank you for the lovely comments.
