The Old Mill, Shireoaks

Shireoaks
England

A Former water powered mill, shown here converted into a house. The present building was built (or rebuilt) about 1800. It is referred to in a publication of 1825 as a building of no great antiquity but careful examination of the building reveals that an older shell has been extended. Originally it was owned by the Hewett family, then the Duke of Norfolk and finally was in private ownership when milling ceased. After WWII at various times it has produced tapioca, potato crisps and lemonade. It was bought in 1973 and converted to domestic use, its use in the present day.
