Beeleigh Steam Mill

Tel: 07717 867178
Description
A steam-powered mill, dated 1845, and held on a 99-year lease since 1996, from its owners, Essex and Suffolk Water.
It has a Wentworth beam engine, an 'elephant' boiler and drive to 5 pairs of millstones (themselves missing). Also included are the base walls of a burnt-down former watermill. Some holding repairs have been carried out, but a great deal more needs to be done. Progress on restoration has been delayed due to the presence of bats, but these have been re-located to a newly built bat roost nearby.
This mill is not yet open to the public regularly, though occasional visits by special interest groups may be possible.
