Stokesby towermill (interior)

Stokesby cum Herringby towermill > Link originally was a 5 storeys high, tarred red brick mill. It was built in 1826 and used for grinding corn. When the last miller, Edward Elijah Trett snr., died in 1916, the mill was put up for auction and presumably never worked again. It fell into dereliction with the cap having gone by the late 1970s but the mill was weatherproof and still contained some machinery. The present owner continues to restore the mill, the old wood was recently treated to protect it from woodworm and new floors are in the process of being installed. This picture was taken by kind permission of the owner.
