Quick wander through town after work. This end of town has so much more potential but it just feels like its been abandoned in places.

As the day turned into night, the winds dropped and the mist started to form. I spotted loads of opportunities with the streetlights but this was what I had in my mind.

Les Houards farm, situated in the rural lanes of the Forest. I’m not sure what the wind mill was used for but I can only assume it was some sort of early wind turbine for powering the farm.

This time, the lights were actually working in this area but just around the corner they were still out.

Les Niaux mill, half way up Talbot Valley with a recently renovated hardwood wheel which is fully operational and provide power to a heat pump in the house. Apparently there’s been a mill on this site since the mid 1300’s. Originally used to grind corn, it was later converted to shred rags for the padding in uniforms.

After months of ongoing restoration , the water wheel is finally back up and running. Up until about 6 years ago, I only had vague memories of this place from my childhood, but now I visit a few times a year for a few snaps.

The shortest day has passed but the nights are still long. It’s cold and wet but if you look around closely, there’s daffodils starting to appear. Spring will be here before you know it but for now, enjoy the cosy nights in front of the TV and Christmas with the people you love.

There’s been a mill on this site since the mid 1300’s with water flowing through from ancient streams along Talbot Valley. Recently overhauled and rebuilt by it’s owners it can easily generate and power a small house.
