Brindley Water Mill, Water mill in Leek, England.
The two-storey brick building measures 8.6 meters by 8.3 meters, featuring segmental archways and round-arched windows on the exterior walls.
Engineer James Brindley constructed this corn mill in 1752, incorporating advanced water management systems with a weir, mill pond, and sluice gates.
The mill represents the industrial heritage of Staffordshire, demonstrating traditional grain processing methods that sustained local communities for generations.
Visitors can explore the mill from Easter until September, between 2 PM and 5 PM, with adult admission priced at £5 and reduced rates for children.
The horizontal breastshot waterwheel powers original machinery that continues to produce flour, maintaining centuries-old milling traditions.
