Daniels Mill, Shropshire, Historic watermill near Bridgnorth, England
Daniels Mill is a historic grain mill in Eardington powered by a large cast iron waterwheel that rotates beneath the building. The structure still operates as a working mill, grinding grain into flour and other milled products using its original machinery.
Records of the mill first appear in the late 15th century when it operated under the name Donynges Mill on the Pitchford estate owned by the Ottley family. The current waterwheel was cast at a local ironworks in 1854 and has powered the mill's operations ever since.
The mill demonstrates traditional grain-milling craft that visitors can watch in action today. The equipment and methods reflect how people have produced flour for centuries in rural England.
The mill is accessible on foot and visitors can observe the machinery working up close during operating hours. Freshly milled flour products are available to purchase directly from the site.
The waterwheel ranks among the largest working mill wheels in England and was specially cast at the renowned Coalbrookdale ironworks. Its size and power showcase Victorian engineering at its finest.
