Stubbing Pond's history is connected to the industrial past of the Wingerworth area. The pond was created as a source of water power for various activities, including the operation of a smithy. The dam for Stubbing Great Pond was constructed around 1700. From the pond, one can see Stubbing Court, the ancestral home of the Hunloke family.

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of human discovery, whose origins can be traced back to ancient times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements, for example, to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel – usually through a so-called "mill channel" – and falls onto the blades. This design, thanks to natural gravity, ensures greater efficiency.

Very pretty little wood, unusual due to the Duke's Quarries rockfaces. Nearby Cliff Quarry is the last one still working today, extracting Sandstone & Gritstone.

I walked the tour today and there is access through and close to the falls not sure where these comments of closure are from - access is restricted to the core of the mill but the falls are all open and clear
