Interior
On the ground floor of Higher Mill is the fully operational, large waterwheel with five pairs of fulling stocks. There is evidence in the internal architecture of two earlier waterwheels in the form of stone arches and blocked up openings. The first floor of Higher Mill is home to a new, interactive wool story display.
Whitakers Mill houses a unique collection of industrial machinery in an authentic setting. The upper floor includes the impressive spinning floor and an exhibition gallery.
