TL5764 : Foster's Mill, Swaffham Prior

taken 9 years ago, near to Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire, England

Foster's Mill, Swaffham Prior
Foster's Mill, Swaffham Prior
Tarred brick and clunch, 4-storey tower mill, built about 1857 and worked commercially until 1946. Restored to working order and now an active business producing a range of flours and associated products. Flour on sale. Four patent sails and fantail winding. This was not open for Mills Open Weekend on 14-5-16 but was due to open on the Sunday afternoon - 15-5-16. This is from the drive but not trespassing on the property. The wheel on the side was almost certainly for an external power source if the wind was not blowing.
