点评：The female volunteer who showed us around the mill really made the visit. From the early history of a cotton mill , touching on Quakers and even slavery, she took us on a journey through the Industrial Revolution . The mill changed from cotton to flax to wool and then became an important saw mill. There were demonstrations of turbines working and moving equipment, saws etc. Other dedicated volunteers were there oiling the machinery too. Social history was also explained, including some of the notable people involved. There was billeting of soldiers on the upper floor during world war 2 and tanks used during the evacuation of Dunkirk were put through their paces on the Mill pond. Regarding nature too, special care is taken to look after local crayfish in the beck and even robin and wren nests in the mill are treated with total respect. This tour took 2 hours and it was worth every minute! Thank you.

翻译：带我们参观工厂的那位女志愿者真是太棒了。她从棉纺厂的早期历史讲起，谈到了贵格会教徒，甚至奴隶制，带领我们经历了一场工业革命之旅。工厂从棉花加工发展到亚麻加工，再到羊毛加工，最终成为一家重要的锯木厂。我们亲眼目睹了涡轮机的运转，以及锯木机等设备的移动。其他热心的志愿者也在现场为机器上油。她还讲解了工厂的社会历史，包括一些与此相关的知名人物。二战期间，工厂楼上曾是士兵的营房；敦刻尔克大撤退中使用的坦克也在工厂池塘里进行了测试。工厂也十分注重环境保护，特别关照溪流中的当地小龙虾，甚至连工厂里的知更鸟和鹪鹩的巢穴都得到了充分的尊重。这次参观花了两个小时，每一分钟都物超所值！非常感谢！
