| Description | Water channel, penstock and mill situated just west of Krommidos mill, on the east banks of the Karkotis river, and on the west edge of Kato Phlasou. Water race begins at zero level beside road and continues in a straight line for about 18m. The arch springers sit on bedrock which is crumbling, possibly becuse of exposure to air. On the south side there abuts an earth water channel about 2m wide, against a southern retaining wall of river boulders, about 1.5m high, in a very good drystone construction. The water channel is a slim construction with a cemented interior of the waterflow, leading towards two tiered steps about 50cm wide each, just before the penstock. The water downflow of the penstock is round, about 55 cm with a metal grille, and set into two rectangular stepped frames. The actual penstock top is rectangular, with a balustrade about 50cm high. The penstock walls are four tiered, with a pronounced slope facing west and the penstock face, and towards the mill house. The mill house has collapsed and is overgrown with brambles, but parts visible reveal it to have been built about 14 courses of irregular river boulders of basalt, with basalt chinking, and topped with 6 rows of adobe bricks, upon which the wooden beams of the roof rested. Poem by Mr. Styllis in Selides article (See report on summary of Stylianides mill). |
