PRESERVATION OF
OF THE ENGLISH WATERMILLS.
Though the watermills of England are slowly disappearing, their survival is more stubborn than that of the wind-mills. Our picture shows a view of Newark Mill, on the Wey, near Woking, which is still in use and contains three waterwheels. This large and finely proportioned mill is one of the best examples of such a structure near London. (Tintes copyright).
