The Greyhound Pond, Cromford, Derbyshire
1730 - 2000 (c.)
The pond was a man-made dam created in about 1785 to provide the main source of water to drive the water wheels for Sir Richard Arkwright’s mills lower down the valley. It was fed by water from the Bonsall Brook and Cromford Sough via the “Bear Pit”.
