Charfield Pin Mill

Firstly, thank you all so much for your kind comments, stars and hearts for yesterday's sixth blippiversary! I'm running down them all, one by one. It's like opening dozens of birthday cards and every one gets a looking at. If there was cake you'd all get a slice.

Our walk today ran through the local fields (not too far from home, of course), and while I took the long glass with me I'm afraid the damp grey weather doesn't seem to enthuse the wildflowl. Instead, I give you the heart of our industrial heritage taken from a distant hill!

Charfield Pin Mill is a grade two listed building from 1829. I believe a pin mill was less do to with making pins and more to do with a method of milling grain into flour, but I've been wrong before. The Little Avon River runs beneath and would have provided the motive power.
