Winchester City Mill
Winchester City Mill is a working watermill straddling the River Itchen in the heart of historic Winchester — a flour mill that has occupied this spot since at least the time of the Domesday Book. The current building dates largely from 1743 and is one of the few surviving urban working mills in England, its great millstones still capable of grinding grain into flour. Set against the backdrop of one of England's great cathedral cities, it's a captivating and surprisingly intimate piece of industrial history.
