Looking through an old book published in 1899, Nooks and Crannies of Shropshire, the author says...
"...following an unfrequented sandy lane, drop to a secluded nook where the river Worf meanders past a small ivyclad water-wheel house, with the green glades of Davenport House feathering the hill slopes before us..."

By gum Peter but that is a grand find - but what is it (other than a great big wheel)?

Hi Diggory
You ask the same question as Jethro in the comment above.
It now intrigues me and I will have to do some research!
After perestroika what has happened with the employment for the souls from the factories?
Best wishes Old English friend Peter

Hi Peter!Souls which survived during those Hard Times lived by means of selling what had remained of delapidated factories... :(

Hi Jethro and Diggory
Just found an old map from 1891 that shows a Pump House on this part of the river Worfe.
