Eskdale Corn Mill, Historic corn mill in Eskdale, England
The T-shaped mill structure contains two low storeys and features two 12-foot overshot water wheels on its east side for grain processing.
Constructed in 1547, the mill underwent modifications during the 18th century with the addition of a second water wheel and improvements to its stone structure.
The mill stands as a demonstration of traditional grain processing methods, with preserved wooden machinery illustrating agricultural practices from past centuries.
The Eskdale Mill & Heritage Trust maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore the internal mechanisms and learn about historical milling processes.
The building contains an extensive collection of original wooden machinery that continues to demonstrate traditional corn milling techniques from centuries past.
