Nether Alderley Mill

Nether Alderley Mill is a 16th-century watermill which has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building (LinkExternal link National Heritage List for England). It is a unique example of a triple overshot waterwheel system, two of which are in working order. It is one of only four virtually complete corn mills in Cheshire.

The machinery was replaced in 1850 and in 1871. The mill closed in about 1939, and the building became derelict. It came into the ownership of the National Trust in 1950 and it has been restored into working order. It is open to the public ( check LinkExternal link for opening times).
