Beeleigh Steam and Watermills
Beeleigh Steam and Watermills
Watermill
The watermill was destroyed by fire in 1875 and never rebuilt. Some remains of the building have survived along with the adjacent 1875 steam mill. The steam mill building still contains the original Wentworth beam engine and gear and Elephant boiler, together with an impressive iron hurst frame which drove five pairs of millstones.
