A moment in history
Albert Mill, a Grade II listed building, was originally built around 1733-34 by the Bristol Brass Company and later used as a cotton mill, grist mill, and logwood mill.
The mill and its site has a very long history and was recorded in the Domesday Book. The current incarnation is a rebuilding following a fire in 1873.
It ceased production in 1964 and was converted to accommodation in 1992. It still retains its historic mill room, water wheels, and two sets of grinding stones.

Preserving the Mill
The owners are trying to preserve the history of the mill workings and its surroundings for future generations. There is always plenty of work to do everything from maintaining the grounds, to repairing the sluice gates and remaining fixtures.
Sadly the water wheels no longer turn and the mill leat is now cut short so it is not possible to reinstate them. However this does give us the opportunity to explore the inner workings that have been frozen since the 1960's.
We are colecting money for our Heritage Fund - every penny helps and if you can donate we would be very grateful.

Open Days!
We'd love you to see the mill. You can see the outside water wheel from the public footpath that runs through the site and we open the doors to the inside wheels, grinding stones and chipper at the Heritage Open Days.
More details will be published here when available.
