Stretton Watermill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stretton Watermill in Cheshire, England is a working watermill built in the 17th Century, although the adjacent stables date from the 19th century. It is recorded that the site has been used for milling since the middle of the 14th Century. Commercial production of flour ceased in 1959 on the retirement of the last miller, but the building has since been restored as a working museum by Cheshire County Council.
It is open to the public during the summer for a fee of £2 adults /£0.75 children (summer 2005). The working of the mill will be demonstrated; there is a gift shop, car park, accessible toilet and a picnic area. The mill pond is a home to water birds, dragonflies and other forms of wildlife.
The mill is approached from the A534 by turning off that road at the Cock O'Barton pub and taking first left after about 800m.
