Brindley's Mill
Recommended by
Overview
This mid-18th-century working corn mill celebrates the work and genius of James Brindley, millwright and canal engineer who is renowned as the pioneer of the canal system. Dating from 1752, the mill has been restored from dereliction by the Brindley Mill Preservation Trust, and is the only known corn mill attributable as the work of Brindley. The mill also houses a museum with displays illustrating the life and work of Brindley and the history of milling, while still preserving the atmosphere of a working corn mill.
