The Mighty Mite: Water Power around Eskdale and Miterdale

David Bradbury
£4.99

Wander round the beautiful valleys of Eskdale and Miterdale in the English Lake District, and you'll find all sorts of reminders of a time when people made very effective use of renewable energy, in the form of water power. The advent of coal-powered steam technology put a stop to all that during the course of the 19th century, and many of the old sites, like Linbeck Mill, are now vanishing. This book is an attempt to keep at least the memory of them alive for the future.
