Cobham Mill and the River Mole

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 17 Mar 2002

Originally there were two mills here with waterwheels between them. The older mill was demolished to enable Mill Road to be straightened in the early 1950s. The remaining mill building dates from 1822 and was in use grinding corn until the 1920s. The Cobham Mill Preservation Trust was set up in 1985 to restore the mill to full working order. It was opened to the public in 1993 and is a Grade II listed building. This view was taken on a day when the River Mole was in full spate.
