Report - Saw Mill - Ellesmere, Shropshire - April 2024

[MK83]

There is very little info on this Saw Mill online. All we could find is that it's grade 2 listed and was most likely built at the end of the 19th century. Built from red brick and has a roof of slate and corrugated iron. It has a single storey, and consists of a main block with an outshut at the rear and a lower range to the right. There is a square tapering chimney to the rear. It also has narrow gauge railway track running into the mill and a small crane outside.

Explore - The Mill is located on some land that seems to belong to a fishing club/farm. The mill itself seems derelict but the land around it and its out buildings are still in use and maintained, when we went there was a generator running in one of the sheds attached to the mill so we stayed away from that side, kept quiet and didn't hang around too long.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers mate, we loved it. Shame we couldn't get round all the little side buildings as well. Would have liked to find the base of the chimney.

Thanks, actually felt quite active around the place, took the snaps quickly and quietly and got out. Don't know if anyone would have minded if we'd been caught but best not to find out.

I wouldnt normally "rush" to a place but coming back from a weekend in wales would of been rude not to.
There is a more to this place than I expected, very nice.
Unfortunately Hasn't took the FB lot long to plaster it on there either, Ill be amazed if it isnt looted before long
