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
