£24.00
Michael Davies-Shiel
Although Mike Davies-Shiel had written and co-authored several books, the best known being his own Watermills of Cumbria and The archaeology of the Lake Counties with Dr. John Marshall, his 30 years of research and fieldwork to update John Somervell’s book on Water Power Mills of South Westmorland remained in many files full of copious notes, cuttings and photographs, awaiting the ‘time to write it all up’.
