Darenth mill waterwheel
Darenth mill was sited down the end of today’s Mill Street at the east-end of town. Unlike Elm View mill at the west-end, Darenth mill was of wooden construction, of which there are very few photographs in existence. This photograph shows that the wheel was of the ‘overshot’ variety which meant that the wheel could be of reduced size, as the water hitting from the top is the most efficient powering method.
