Peddled past here a few times so took the camera with me today, almost belongs in the Rural section as its in such a nice setting,sealed up tight unfortunatly...bit of info from the web...
One of the main characteristics of modern day Throop is the watermill referred to as “Throop Mill”. The watermill in Throop village has been present in some regard from the 12th century passing through various ownership's including monks from Quarr Abbey and was mentioned in the Domesday Book

It has often been said that it is haunted by the monks and sometimes tormented children with no faces there laughter and cries are said to fill the cold night air with a chilling fear,not surprisingly despite many attempts to reopen, the mill remains closed to the public. It has been suggested by the local council to turn the site into tea rooms.

The mill has four floors most of which are believed to be rotten

The owners of Throop Mill have met with the local council a few times, but I believe negotiations are now at a standstill with regards to its fate. The owners are basically just 'sitting on it', refusing to renovate or sell. It's always sealed tight.
 
I would like to see some indoor shots but I suppose that's not possible but this is nicely photographed. Not too keen on B & W shots but they seem to work here. Thanks for posting.

I'd love to get inside, maybe a permission visit.....its very well secured but given its location that's not surprising,its a nice quite semi rural spot with some not so nice areas nearby!
