Alvingham Mill and barns 0986-
Slightly different composition and shorter focal length than the earlier post
Alvingham Watermill is a fully equipped 3 storey water-powered corn mill.
It is located on a 12th century site; a watermill is known to have been on this site since 1155. But there is evidence that this site has been used for mills previously, with a mill recorded here in the Doomsday Book of 1086.
Alvingham Watermill has an 11 ft diameter by 8 ft wide breastshot water wheel, dated 1782, and cast iron gearing by Sanderson and Louth circa 1820.
Water is channelled from the River Lud and culverted under Louth Canal in a brick tunnel.
