Between the bottoms of the Kilns, roomy arched Stables are constructed, in some of which the Fanners feed and rest their Horses, while their Carts and Waggons are loading, and others are let to the Boatmen for their towing Horses. The high wall in the front of the Kilns, being strengthened, and its line broken by some circular Buttresses, faced so as to imitate an ancient Castle, has a good effect, from its commanding situation, so far above the level of the Valley and Grounds at Mellor-Mills.
