Cutting from the 'Peterborough Evening Telegraph' about the work the East Anglian Steeplejack Company are doing in reducing the tower of Eye Mill and removing the rotten brickwork, rather than demolishing the mill entirely. The mill's name used to be "Black Mill" but subsequently its body got whitewashed so that seems a rather odd name now !
