Hauxton Mill, Grade II listed watermill in Hauxton, England
Hauxton Mill is a three-story timber-framed building located near the former A10 road and represents traditional mill construction methods of its era. The site has been redeveloped into Mill SciTech Park, which now houses laboratory and office spaces for technology companies.
The mill began as a grain-milling operation in the 1800s and continued processing agricultural products commercially until 1972. After ceasing its milling operations, the building found new purposes, eventually becoming part of a technology park development.
The mill reflects how water-powered industry shaped rural communities in this region, showing the role mills played in local economies and daily life. Visitors can observe the relationship between the building and the landscape that made its operation possible.
The mill is now part of a business park with modern facilities and infrastructure adapted for contemporary use. Visitors should be aware that the building functions primarily as a workplace, so public access may be limited to exterior viewing or scheduled tours.
A storm in the 1980s toppled a tree onto the mill wheel, permanently ending its working capacity. This moment marked a symbolic transition from an active industrial site to a historical monument.
