TM4268 : Upstream in Minsmere River at Watermill Farm

taken 4 years ago, near to Middleton, Suffolk, England

Upstream in Minsmere River at Watermill Farm
Upstream in Minsmere River at Watermill Farm
Although there is no record, or any building remaining, a watermill once stood on this site. Part of a dressed French burr stone was found in the river giving credence to the existence of a mill on this site. Only the odd small heap of rubble remain on the river bank. The location of the mill would have been between the current house (probably built on the footprint of the miller's house) and the Minsmere River, a distance of 15 yards. The river is very shallow at this point with the river bed strewn with stone and demolition rubble. The river is much deeper before and after this point, again pointing to the location of the mill which has long since passed from living memory except for the name of Watermill Farm. Access and permission to photograph was kindly granted by the owner.

Suffolk Rivers

Suffolk has twenty rivers worthy of the name. The River Waveney and the River Little Ouse form the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk. The River Stour does the same for Suffolk and Essex. The Alde, the Blyth, the Deben and the Orwell are the main rivers and the others are tributaries or affluents of these. Among the names of these are the Gipping, the Box, the Lark, the Dove, the Snail and the Rat.
Other rivers and tributaries are the Minsmere, Fromus, Mill, Ore, Chad, Fynn, Kirton Creek, and Shottisham Creek, Belstead Brook, the Black Bourne, Eriswell Lode, Polstead Stream and Hol Brook. Edited by Adrian S. Pye
