Moddeshall Hydropower: The Past and Potential of Hydropower in The Moddeshall Valley, Hardcover/James R. Warren

The Scotch Brook Valley, and its tributary The Moddeshall Valley proper, convey brisk and reliable watercourses that for centuries supported twelve traditional watermills. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries most of these mills were used to grind animal bones and flint to supply the Longton fine bone china industry. Latterly, the uppermost mill generated electricity to light the hamlet of Moddeshall. James R Warren investigates the hydraulics and hydrological science of this small English catchment to consider its revival for the generation of small-scale hydro-electricity supply. Traditional watermill scholarship and craft is re-evaluated in terms of the physics of flowing water. Contains text, photographs, tabulations, engineering equations and geometrical diagrams.
