Continuing my favourite summer explores.. Fantastic summer evening by the banks of the River Avon in Tweksbury.
Closed in 2006 after being in use since 1865. The grain used to be shipped up the river Severn from Avonmouth in traditional grain barges. Mothballed untill this summer when they started to remove the machinery. I don't think I'll ever see a mill quite as intact as this. Structurally the silo building to the left is starting to fall into the river, hence the lack of interested developers - otherwise they'd be snapping it up yesterday as it's in a beautiful location. I think it may be listed too.
