About this Event
Beeleigh Water and Steam Mill
Heritage Open Day: Beeleigh Water and Steam Flour Mill contains a unique Elephant Boiler, Wentworth Beam Engine and Victorian Milling Hurst. Beeleigh Water and Steam Mill were once one of the largest flour mills in Essex. The site was abandoned after the watermill was destroyed by fire in 1875 although the steam mill survived largely intact, but not operational. The steam mill contains a unique Elephant Boiler, Wentworth Beam Engine and Victorian Milling Hurst. Members of the Beeleigh Mill Restoration Group, who are currently undertaking major restoration work to the engine, will be providing guided tours of the Steam Mill and will explain the history of the Mill and the machinery it contains.
