Description:
A Turn Wheel is marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, but it is unclear what exactly this is. Its precise location is also unclear. It is unlikely to have been a railway turntable as there is no associated railway line, so it is suggested as a water wheel because it is on the edge of Derwent Gut.
