This is my first report on here, hopefully I have done everything right
There is virtually no history which i have been able to find on this mill, except that it was first recorded in 1813 and was a water-powered flour and grist mill. The cast iron wheel, formally with wooden spokes and hub was built by Oatey and Martyn, Wadebridge.
I visited this place in Autumn last year and absolutely loved it. Its located in the bottom of a beautiful wooded valley, making the building very atmospheric. There is a single house near by and part of the ground floor seems to be used to store fencing materials. The exterior of the mill is nice enough but the real treasure is the interior, complete with all its original machinery which clearly hasn't worked for many decades.
This was my first explore with my Nikon D600 which I unfortunately didn't know how to use at the time so my interior photos aren't the best.
