| Description | Main water distributor branching off possibly from river 'Deimma', traversing under main Kalyana-Galata road and emerging south of branch of road leading to Kalyana. Point of warter entering survey area (which I have extended to include Kalyana & Tembria, for water-rights reasons). Bifurcate branch. One arm leads along higher gradient towards BU 0071 stretch. Secondary water channel, leads parallel to main channel on west side which curves to get to point of BU 0071. secondary channel also turns but leads into courtyard of neighboring house on west side. Dry right hand side (east) branch leads towards lowermost canal of BU OO71, enclosing Spyros' mill (BU 0061) into a triangular 'island' surrounded by water channels on all sides. The outflow of Spyros's mill led water into this branch of the water channel which would explain why it is now dry. Plaque of 1953 beside the road on the uppermost level documents date of cementing. Original stone and lime construction visible on curve. Newer penstocks appear sloped. The newest mill is Myltiades mill completed in 1950.Photos in personal archive. |
