This is a classic English watermill dating from the 1880s and was the last working commercial mill of this type in the area. Commercial activity stopped in 1972.

After closing down, it was rented and used for storage. A storm caused a tree to fall onto the mill wheel in the 1980s, which ended the operability of the mill altogether. The mill has now been left unattended. Various planning applications to convert the mill for other uses have always been rejected due to historic interest.

Apologies for my lack of contributions to the forum over the past few months. I've still been out and about and have lots to share with you all in due course! This was my second attempt to explore the mill, and I finally succeed. I spent a good hour and a half looking around here and it was most enjoyable :)


Thanks for looking,

Rubex
 
Very nice rubex.some really crisp clear shots there.especially in that low light ☺
 
Lovely to see inside this mill. I had a mooch around the outside a while back but couldn't get in (I clearly need to grow a pair) nice report ��
 
That's lovely, nice bit of history you have captured beautifully there. Good to see you back out and about and posting again!
 
Always look forward to seeing your posts. And this one is no exception, nice crisp clear shots and making the use of natural light.
 
I am a member of a team of volunteers maintaining and improving Thelnetham Windmill in Suffolk. That watermill is ripe for renovation. I hope somebody takes it on. It could be beautifull. Jim.
 
Cheers for the comments everyone. Glad you've all missed me :laugh:

Yeah, there's power for the PIRs etc; The sensors were flashing as I moved around.
