Risbury Mill, near Stoke Prior
Location
Grid reference: SO 540 550
OS sheet: 149
Postcode: HR6 0NG
The entrance is by the bridge over the Humber Brook, on the road from Risbury
towards Stoke Prior.
This small 18th century corn mill is in an idyllic situation formerly
fed from the Humber Brook, but it has lost its water supply. The 19th
century machinery, two of the three pairs of millstones, and the frame of the
external overshot waterwheel remain. Extra storage room has been obtained by the
upward brick extension of the mill. There is a large flour dresser on the first
floor, and a grain cleaner has been installed nearby with a remarkably complex
drive. A small complete mill in a lovely setting.
