Saltford Brass Mill, Industrial mill building in Saltford, England
The 18th-century mill features an operational waterwheel, an annealing furnace, and traditional machinery setup on the River Avon banks.
The mill operated from 1720 to 1924, producing brass materials from Cornish ores mixed with calamine from Mendip Hills for manufacturing processes.
This facility represents the final remaining example of over 30 mills that processed brass along the River Avon during the industrial period.
The mill opens to visitors on second and fourth Saturdays from May through October between 10:00 and 16:00, with additional group visits by arrangement.
The mill contains one of four original annealing furnaces used to heat brass sheets to prevent cracking during the manufacturing process.
