Brindley Water Mill

Brindley Water Mill

The Brindley Water Mill is a water mill situated in the town of Leek in the English county of Staffordshire. The current mill was used for grinding corn and was built by James Brindley, the famous canal builder, in 1752, although previous mills existed on the site several centuries earlier. The mill has been restored and is now maintained and operated by the Brindley Mill Preservation Trust. It houses a small museum dedicated to Brindley's life and achievements.cite web | title = Brindley Water Mill - history of the mill | url = http://www.brindleymill.net/htmlfiles/history.html | publisher = Brindley Mill Preservation Trust | accessdate = August 1 | accessyear = 2006]
