This site is occupied by a water treatment works and was updated at the beginning of the 21st century. However, the site has been in ownership of the water companies for the purpose of water treatment since at least 1905. Prior to this, the area appears to have lain unused after the demise of the Uppermost Wheel in 1845. This grinding wheel was recorded as 'newly constructed' in 1751 (Crossley 1989, 51). Before this the area had formed part of Rivelin Chase, a deer park. Legibility of the earlier industrial use is fragmentary as there are possible remains relating to the wheel pit and dam of Uppermost Wheel.
