Duh!
In the last week or two I've been reading about old industry in the UK, and kept reading about "cotton mills," and forges that were located on a river next to cotton mills, and then finally, it clicked when I saw a video about a saw mill that was located on a river.
The only watermill that I'd ever known about was a flour mill.

Interesting… I never knew any of them were used for milling flour…. I thought they were all saw mills!
