Woodbridge Tide Mill

Stuart Grimwade comments: "I took this image of Woodbridge Tide Mill in 1958 just before the main shaft broke, and the mill ceased to function. In those days railway trucks pulled by horses were still in use on the short connecting siding from the nearby station. It is now once more fully operational, albeit with a much smaller mill pond, as you see in the second image [SMDN-2015.0010-02]."
