Marsh Mill, Tower mill in Thornton, England
The Marsh Mill structure rises 70 feet high with five floors, featuring a boat-shaped wooden cap and multiple square windows throughout its brick walls.
Ralph Slater constructed this mill in 1794 for Bold Hesketh, operating as a corn mill until the 1920s when industrial changes led to its closure.
The preserved internal machinery demonstrates traditional milling techniques, with different floors dedicated to grain storage, meal preparation, and millstone operations.
The mill opens for guided tours during specific events including Easter weekend and National Mills Weekend, with tickets priced at £2 for adults.
The mill contains a complete set of original working machinery across its five floors, making it the most intact tower windmill in northwest England.
