Albion Mills, Southwark, Industrial flour mill in Southwark, England
The architectural structure stood at the southeastern side of Blackfriars Bridge, featuring iron wheels, shafts, and a combination of wooden and cast iron cogs.
Samuel Wyatt designed this pioneering steam-powered commercial flour mill in 1786, which operated successfully until its destruction by fire in March 1791.
The destroyed mill site influenced William Blake's poem 'And did those feet in ancient time', contributing to the imagery of industrial structures in English literature.
The facility employed two steam engines that powered twenty pairs of millstones, each capable of grinding nine bushels of corn per hour.
The mill's advanced machinery included an integrated system for raising, fanning, sifting, and dressing grain before lowering it directly into barges.
