Singletons Mill on the Hawkesbury River, c 1900

    beachcomber australia Agreed! Beautiful photographs.
  • marhleet said:
    much more likely to be a tad SW of the current, across the small creek, rather than the HUGE river
  • Jim Mason said:
    Singletons Mill was across Layburys Creek at Gunderman.
  • Ian Wright said:
    This is the derelict mill of James Singleton (1777-1849) which was demolished in the early 1900s after milling declined from 1870. Being on a tidal river it required a slightly different method in powering the 5M diameter water wheel than the usual water rushing past the wheel through a diversion channel or 'race'. A dam was filled by the rising tide, the inlet valve was closed at high water & on the falling tide the stored water was released through the mill race to turn the wheel.
