New pit wheel teeth from Woodbridge Boatyard. Delivered by this gentleman who was a student at the boatbuilding college in Lowestoft when Mill engineers Gary and Alex worked there. Alex taught him joinery from time to time. @alexhunterworkshop #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering

So dramatic is the machinery, visitors sometimes miss the old Waterwheel Float from a wheel installed in 1932 that hangs above the ground floor viewing window to the Pit Wheel. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering #woodbridgetidemill #waterwheel
