He flies it around so many times I feel like I've been there.
Spanky Danscombe Valley Paper Mill. Wow, now that looks interesting.
Dancombe Valley is in Calstock Cornwall where these ruins of an old paper mill are located along with a sawmill and a grain mill, I noticed in the immediate area. What's up with all these mills clustered around?
That's the way it was. Waterpower was applied to everything they could think of during the twelfth century, sawmills provided lumber for the estates, iron mills forged iron, waterpower was even applied to textiles. Moreover, due to the seignorial system in the thirteenth century whereby lords could insist grain grown on their property be milled on their property an expansion of waterpower for milling grain occurred throughout.
[Just like the Egyptians. And like Egyptians, sources say "corn" they do not mean maize.]
Clicking through the photos pinned on Google Earth at Calstock is like being in an H.O. train setup, I haven't seen anything this picturesque.
What a place to visit. There is an official National Trust route that takes you through the countryside and the industrial history about the Cotehele Estate.

Where did you get that idea?
It's only about a 3 hour drive to the Uffington White Horse.
I get why some people are named Miller, but why is there no name for the guy who made the mill?
That's the guy named Mason.
I was just being silly.
It would be Millwright.
As in Joseph Millwright or Janice Millwright.
I used to represent a company that built and installed factory assembly lines.
I was much more interested in the engineering aspects than I was in the legal.
Ah, what might have been.
A road divided in a yellow wood.
Something like that.
Is there a manly aerial vehicle?
Crickets.
That pretty much ended any desire to own a quadracopter.
