The watermill building dates from the mid 19th century. It was bought by William Jordan II in 1894. Following a fire it was converted from a millwheel to a turbine and from millstones to rollers for the production of white flour. It was at the cutting edge of technology at the time and with modernisation of equipment through to the 1920s retains the basic layout from that era. The left hand side of the building has recently been converted to provide access and excellent visual and multimedia displays of the processes. A full height window cuts a slice through the building allowing the equipment and layout to be seen. The tour also walks through the equipment floors.
