Great description of this painting Malcolm. Looks so isolated and bleak.

This is one of the many millstones abandoned around and above Millstone Edge in the Peak District when the Industry virtually just stopped because of the importing of cheap French millstones. The stones range from ones that are only just starting to take shape from virgin rock to small rows of neatly stacked complted ones ready for shipment now nearly buried with soil over the many years that have passed.

Anyone walking the high ground in winter will be aware how there seems to be no true sence of distance because of the flat light.
