SP9066 : Victoria Mills, Little Irchester

taken 17 years ago, near to Wellingborough, North Northamptonshire, England

Victoria Mills, Little Irchester
Victoria Mills, Little Irchester
The mills were founded in 1886 by the Whitworth family and are still run by the firm. Principal products are fine flours for the bakery trade.
The location was clearly originally chosen because of the available water power from the River Nene, as well as the fact that the river is navigable at this point. The remains of a jetty in front of the old part of the mill can just be seen in the following picture SP9066 : Flour Mills and Storage Silos.
The area opposite the mills is a small public park.
