Slipper Mill Pond, Emsworth

The Slipper Mill and Pond was opened in the 1870s and ceased working in 1936. The mill store has been converted into houses (which you can see in the PiP) and the mill pond is now surrounded by houses and a busy main road.

The pond is a haven for all sort of birds other wild life.

This was taken this morning and as you can see it was fairly sunny, but still cold. After the photos, hot chocolate and chocolate fudge cake was consumed :-)))

This was captured in 16:9 format and so is probably best viewed large!

A beautiful view of this pond and lovely reflection, Keith.
Interesting information about what used to be a mill...the houses look fine and so do the nuances of this winter sky.
After such a good job , you did deserve hot chocolate and chocolate cake! :-)

Quiet village on the riverfront and great image of the old mill was very well recovered.
