130 - 365 Miller's Chair

Today our 'getting away from the builders' trip took us to Stainsby Mill.

 

Stainsby Mill is a restored 19th-century watermill in complete working condition, set in a lovely countryside location within the National Trust's Hardwick estate. The mill was built in 1849 and is powered by a huge 17-foot diameter waterwheel.

There has been a mill on this site since the 13th century. It initially ground grain for nearby villages but was later used to mill flour for the Hardwick Estate.

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
