More model informationThe hydraulic engine was supplied with high pressure water from a building on the southern side of the site, which housed a large overshot waterwheel and hydraulic accumulator. There is a stone built wheel pit which contained a large overshot water wheel. It is thought that water was carried from the south on a wooden launder onto the wheel. The surplus water left the wheel pit through an arched portal into a stone lined tail race which carried it into the river.
This 3D model has been created by volunteers as part of the National Landscape’s Land of Lead and Silver project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England.
