In Bourne Road, off Mersea Road, B1025. Take 5th turning on L from roundabout. See brown sign.
The current structure was built in 1591 and was probably both a working
watermill and a fishing lodge. It later flourished fulling
wool. Some machinery, including the waterwheel, remains intact and turning.

pedal-powered fulling machine.
