Wile Carding Mill

The 'Wile Carding Mill'\ is a defunct carding mill in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia that was owned and operated by the Wile family from 1860 to 1968. The Wile's ran the mill but employed a number of workers, usually unmarried women, to actually operate the machinery. The mill was powered by a seven horsepower overshot waterwheel using the water of Shady Brook. The Mill is now a museum.
