Old Stone Mill, Delta, Ontario

In the millrace, looking south, downstream towards the waterwheel.  One of the mysteries of the mill is why the raceway isn't parallel to the waterwheel.  In part because our replica waterwheel may be closer to the west wall than the original wheel, which may have been positioned a couple of feet to the east.  It also supports the idea that a wooden sluide was used, correcting the angle of the raceway.
