"After the MIll was reduced the ground floor became the Nayland Light and Power Station which was closed in 1938. An electricity generator was powered by water running through the old Mill. In 1924 twenty electric lamps were lit around the village for £20 per lamp per annum." Gotta lurve this 'distributed diversified renewable energy' : expensive crap then, expensive crap now.

£10k pa for 20 lights - what kind of bargain is that?

The future of the world?
