Discover this eighteenth-century working corn mill. Celebrate the work of James Brindley, the renowned millwright and canal engineer, who pioneered the canal system in Great Britain. The mill dates from 1752 and is the only corn mill known to have been built by James Brindley. It has been restored from a derelict state by the Brindley Mill Preservation Trust. It is a working mill that produces flour from grain but is no longer a commercial enterprise.

​

The mill building houses a small museum with interpretive panels and artefacts that will add to your interest. The displays illustrate the life and work of James Brindley and the history of milling while preserving the atmosphere of a working corn mill.
