Step back in time to the heyday of the local mill, where the unscrupulous owner Miller McGreedy was making top dollar off his top quality flour. But when his workers demanded their fair share of the profits, McGreedy entrusted his faithful servant Bob with his gold for safe-keeping. In a moment of panic, Bob hid the gold in one of the buckets of the water wheel, only to watch in horror as it was swept away into the Great Ouse River. The drama unfolded as Bob and the gold were never seen again…until now.
