Sarehole Watermill
Watermill
The present three-storey mill dates from the 1760s, built on an earlier site from the sixteenth century. The mill was used for corn milling, metal rolling and blade grinding. It last worked commercially in 1919 and was extensively restored in the 1960s, opening as a museum in 1969. Also on display is an early (non-working) stationary steam engine, dating back to the 1850s.
