It was a water powered flour mill, the UK is littered with small scale rural mills like this. The big water wheel in the last photo was powered by the stream that runs through it, the wheel revolved which turned the big gears in the second to last photo, which rotated the mill stones in the 11th and 12th photos - the rest of the equipment was used to refine the products before and after milling.
