Could this Old Saw Mill be Britains Most Beautiful? 

That's lovely, it looks like something from a model village. Someone really cared when they built that.

Very nice mill, nice drone shots, well done Ant!

How lovely is this Ant, its like a little Swiss Chalet, I could just imagine it all scrubbed clean of the moss,surrounded by lovely scenery, lovely video as usual xx😊

That is a lovely place.❤ Great drone footage there.👍

You never know whats out tthere,waiting to be discovered.What a lovely area to have worked in.Thanks Ant.

Really enjoyed it I love old history. Very well preserved building.

Beautiful mill set in a place. Very quaint. Thank you Ant.

That's in pretty good shape, glad someone is looking after it.

I live in Osmaston, i love the drone footage enabling us to see all around the mill. Such a lovely spot for a walk. You should contact The Osmaston Estate office to see if you can get entry

This is indeed, most impressive. It is definitely a most beautiful looking building and it is great that everything is still there. It is a shame that it is no longer used and it would be great if it would be restored to water propulsion which would save money on the cost of electricity and would still be able to be used during times of power cuts. Thank you for bringing us this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated.

what a lovely mill Ant

That was very interesting, Ant. And a beautiful location. Thanks for that!

Beautiful architecture !! Thanks

Beautiful building.. Wow many more please..

Catching up on my viewing, Ant. What a glorious location! A shame the building is just sitting unused, but at least it is being maintained. Loving your work, mate. Enjoy your Summer. Cheers. 😎

Beautiful building! How is this not more well known?! It’s like something straight out The Shire from LOTR’s!

did an X race mud run a few years back that that was at the start. loved looking at it.

Looks like a piece of Art (Painting or a Photograph) 😉🚂🚂🚂

As always extremely interesting subject. The Mill is really rather unique in its appearance, with the complimenting landscape.

Great video, been meaning to go and visit there for years as it’s just up the road. Thanks for the video

The sawmill at Osmaston (hate to be a pedant!) is like something out of a fairy tale… lovely place!

Interesting fact Ant. That water wheel must have had some power if it only needed a 15hp motor to replace it

Great video.

Loved the old sawmill and water wheel. Derbyshire is such a fascinating county. Whatever will you bring us next, Ant ?

Certainly very beautiful - a Swiss chalet-type saw mill in Britain must be unique. Looks like the water wheel could be easily restored to working order. I wonder how much of the machinery survives - and whether they have 'open days'?

Looks like something out of a horror movie! Great video!

😊😊😊😊

I think all mills are beautiful but that one is something else. Where I live is grade 2 listed too.

👍

That is so out of character for its location, you've sniffed out another little history gem there Ant. Top man for adhering to privacy signs - leave it as you found it👍👍👍👍

Firstly the sawmill is NOT abandoned! It is unused but is still part of the Osmaston estate.The mill was primarily used to pump water up to two small reservoirs on the opposite hill which was then piped down to Osmaston Manor.The reservoirs were segregated into lake water for the gardens and horses etc and spring water for the house.The buildings in the yard are the blacksmiths (with the chimney) and a cart shed opposite.Its quite likely there was a wheel wright on site too.The small open 'shed ' next to the mill is actually a creosote pit where fence posts were soaked.The wheel also provided power via belts and shafts to the saws.There is nothing at all in the upper part of the sawmill but there is still some machinery downstairs,water pumps which are mainly underground. Ive never heard of the wheel being powered by an electric motor! Why would you power a water wheel with electricity when there is an abundant supply of free water? I the logical answer is the electric motors were later used to power the saws. The whole roof was replaced about 10-15 years ago and the wooden gutters were also renewed. I like your responsible attitude regarding not trespassing and excellent use of your drone! Well done.

What a beautiful little building, I hope you can get in touch and get permission to kook inside one day ☺️👌

Great video as always and really enjoyed it. Quick question re the “drone”, if the property is private and you can’t walk on it, is it legal to fly the drone around it. Don’t have a drone so not sure what the legal rules are !

:) :)

I bet there are many years of backstories of the mill building and the local people that work the mill and those that got lumber there. Great watch.......................
