 Appreciating the views that could be obtained from the top storey of the tower, Mr. Eyland rebuilt, raised and furnished the top room, fitting a fireplace and laying a carpet.To aid his viewing he arranged a mirror on the camera obscura principle, so that the four compass directions could be seen in one glass.In 1890, Charles Eyland died, and the mill passed to Charles Newbold Eyland, who moved into Hope Cottage with his family.
