Working Water Mill
No mud yet ! I photographed this before we went down the steps over the mill pond, arriving too late to avoid about 50 yards of mud !
New Hall Mill, a Grade 2 listed building, is one of only two working water mills still surviving in the Birmingham area. It's privately owned by the New Hall Water Mill Preservation Trust, a registered charity, and is only open to the public for six days each year. It is a significant local example of this area's industrial heritage, and is located within the New Hall Valley Country Park, formerly farmland.
The present structure dates from the 18th Century, although some parts are much older. In the yard you can hear and see the large overshot water wheel turning, fed from water in the mill pond.
