An old water wheel near the Wilton voad entrance lo Wilton's Bush, near Wadestown, Wellington, attracts considerable attention from visitors. This water wheel is between tiO and 70 years old, and was the property of the late Mr Wilton, after whom Wilton's Bush is named. Water was stored in a concrete basin at the back of the wheel, and when it was released the wheel turned a chaff-cutter. The wheel has not been used for 25 years or so. Some time ago a farmer wanted to buy the wheel for use with a milking machine, but the present owner of the wheel, Mr J. Zortea, refused to sell, preferring to leave the wheel in its present position as a curiosity and a link with a bygone period of Wellington's history.
