I have thought about this and cannot recall a 2 wheel mill being restored in the immediate Keswick area over the last 15 years.

I wonder if you mean the Little Salkeld Mill in the Eden Valley about 25 miles away from Keswick? This is working today and producing flour.

The only other twin wheeled mill I know of is the Muncaster Mill, but that is even further away.

There is a 3 wheel mill at Acorn Bank near Penrith.
