Padley Mill on Kodacolor VR 200 film made between 1982 & 86
The back of the mill can be seen through the trees and the stream in the foreground fed a small dam (behind the trees on the left of the image) which maintained flow through the mill race.
This was a corn mill from the mid-eighteen century; also used as a saw mill and wire-drawing mill.

Going through old negatives, I found a sheet from the early 1980s of Padley Mill and Padley woods in the Peak District National Park: Derbyshire.
Kodacolor VR200 film which was made between 1982 to 86, this helped me date them at more than 35 years old.
I have been scanning and converting some into B&W.

I am almost sure this negative (T-max TMY not TMY-2) was made in the early 1980’s.
The first recorded church on this site was a wooden structure built in 627, the present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472. Looking at its history: the site seems to have been beset by fires ! see this Wiki link.

Being stopped from travel and almost locked away for more than a year, I’ve not had much enthusiasm or even opportunity for photography. So going through my negatives/slides and digital files has kept me from going ‘Doolally’, for those not familiar with this word: it means ‘lose one’s mind’, derived from the boredom felt at a British Army transit camp in Maharashtra India, established in 1861.
A. E. Houseman provides a thought for today.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
My thought for today.
Storm damage.
Storm damage – it must have made a lot of noise when it came down.

would indicate a rather spectacular entrance at some point in time.
