Newhall Mill, Historic water mill in Sutton Coldfield, England.
Newhall Mill is a former grain mill near Birmingham featuring a large external waterwheel on its side. The building preserves two pairs of millstones and other processing equipment from its operational years, some of which remain functional.
The mill emerged in the 18th century as a grain-processing site that shaped the valley since that time. It changed its purpose in 1960, when animal feed production replaced flour milling.
The mill demonstrates milling techniques that visitors can observe in action today. It stands as one of the last places in the region where traditional grain processing remains visible and operational.
The building opens its doors only at certain times during the year for visitors. Plan time to explore the equipment, garden, and walking paths around the mill.
The mill combines water power with a 1949 diesel engine to keep its operations going. This dual-power system shows how heritage sites adapted to meet changing needs.
