Here in the 1600,s eleven water wheels were at work - six for grinding corn, two for pumping water and three for fulling mills to clean and treat cloth.
Over the years other industries flourished on this site: rope makers, skinners, tanners, papermakers and candle factories. One of the last and very successful businesses was J Nicholls & Sons Tobacco & Snuff factory which was established in 1780 and remained on this site until its closure in the late 1950's. In the early 1960's all the remaining Mill buildings were demolished and replaced by the current flats seen here today, I will let you all have your own thoughts on them.
The flats are now named "Salmon Leap" as they overlook the Salmon Steps in the river where still today migratory Salmon run up to spawn in the higher regions of the river.
