Belbroughton Watermill

The third item is the second of two photographs of the watermill at the village of Belbroughton. The photograph was produced in April 1951. At this time, there were as many as thirteen watermills in the village of Belbroughton; all of which shared the same function of acting as a forge mill. However, Gardner does not identify which particular watermill is featured in this picture. The mills of Belbroughton were called Bell End mill, Blade mill, Fieldhouse mill, Forge mill, Upper Forge mill, Lower Forge mill, Middle Forge mill, Middle mill, Galton's mill, Newtown Forge mill and Shut mill.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

(4) David Nicholl's 16-page report to owners, Mr and Mrs Hayes, detailing the mill's location, history, watercourse, structure, machinery and waterwheel, the latter's condition being assessed as 'fair, considering the age (175 years)' and giving recommendations for the mill's future use and repair. Broad budget costings are also provided.
