The Mill In Lamorna, Cornwall…
Derelict as death, the Mill,
Bedecked by clinging weed,
Its stone walls cold as a lost corpse
Had been cruelly eviscerated.
Its weighing scales lay awry and still,
Reddened by dyeing rust,
Their usefulness long forgotten,
Their heritage rudely desecrated.
A tarnished Helston mill-wheel,
Silent, its newer paddles locked,
Hints at the source of freshwater power,
Now lying defective and sadly neglected…

Lamorna’s Mill neglected in 2018, when I took a look around…
Having taught at Birmingham’s Sarehole Mill, much restored of course, this building saddened me…
