Today I finally completed the model waterwheel, which is designed to encourage kids to pester their parents for coins to drop in. The wheel is very free on its bearings, and even a 5p coin will turn it. The whole is protected by a perspex cover - I had a lot of fun cementing that together. The coins fall in and strike a bell, so there is a very satisfactory series of clunks followed by a "ding"! |
Acorn Bank Garden and Watermill is located at Temple Sowerby, around six miles east of the town of Penrith. The garden and watermill are owned by the National Trust. The watermill is now leased from the National Trust and is operated by the former volunteers, who have formed Acorn Bank Watermill Trust, registered charity no 1193320
