Sarehole Mill, Watermill and museum in Birmingham, England
The Sarehole Mill stands on River Cole, featuring operational milling equipment and a steam engine chimney added during the 1852 modifications.
Matthew Boulton leased this establishment from 1756 to 1761, transforming the facility into a metal processing center for button manufacturing operations.
The surrounding landscape of Sarehole Mill influenced J.R.R. Tolkien, who lived nearby during his childhood from ages four to eight years old.
The mill opens Friday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with guided tours available at specific times and advance booking recommended.
This Grade II listed building remains one of two functioning watermills in Birmingham, demonstrating historical grain processing methods through regular demonstrations.
