Dunsdale water pump wheel at Cutmill
Cutmill Pond
The waterwheel at Cutmill Pond is dated 1858, the same as the mansion at Dunsdale. It supplied water via a reservoir and five filter beds to Dunsdale. The wheel is described as an undershot waterwheel with a 2.56/1 step-up gear to 2 crankshafts which could drive a single cylinder pump. It was able to deliver 800 gallons per minute to the reservoir according to the 1929 Estate brochure.
