24/01/14: Friday Video: The Abandoned Mill, Sorrento, Italy

This mill in the 'Valley of the Mills' in Sorrento, Italy was abandoned in 1866.

The mill was originally used to ground wheat, and a sawmill operated nearby. The mill was isolated from the sea by the construction of Tasso Square, which subsequently raised the humidity in the area, resulting in abandonment.
