Visited this place with man gone wrong on an extremely wet day. We had no problems getting in and we were like drowned rats by the time we had got in. Had a nice walk around. By the time it was time to go we noticed a land rover and several lorries had turned up and were loading up sheep. This was right were we came in. Luckily the lorries going out had left the gates open, so we just strolled out. Looking at the papers the next day it seems were we parked and the whole area was totally flooded. We could now see why they were getting the sheep out of it. I really wanted some externals of this beautiful building. But the rain was so torrential it was impossible.
The mill and associated buildings are are grade two listed. Starting out in 1865 on the site of a former mill. The Borough flour mills better known as Healings flour mills was in the ownership of Samuel Healings. The mill was constructed of red brick and slate roof. Supported on cast iron and steel columns on reinforced concrete and steel floors. The mill consisted of five floors and an attic. The mill and associated buildings were extended over years to come. The mill continued in use till 2006 ending 150 years of producing flour. Many plans have been about to convert the mill but nothing has come of them yet.
