Erbistock Mill, Erbistock, December 2010

[Only2Eyes]

I've struggled to find much in the way of history on this place. It was grade II listed in 1963 and the listing text on the British Listed Buildings website states:

'A 4-storey stone-built corn mill, said to have been a mill site in Norman days. Brick upper portion and a new slate roof. At the lowest stage is an arched stone fireplace with inscriptions including a date 1602. Waterwheel and machinery still used.'

The waterwheel and machinery is no longer used as the mill has been converted into a holiday cottage. It's in an idyllic location on the banks of the River Dee and for the past 6 or 7 years me and me mates have retreated here at the start of December. I am guessing that it was converted in the late 80s judging by the decor and nothing has changed since. There have been many raves in this place, there's evidence on youtube. A band called 'The Lucid Dream' released the Erbistock Mill EP. I haven't listened to any of it, I bet it's shit.

Despite the terrible interior design and the parties there is still plenty of evidence of the mill's past. This year I decided to take some pictures to share with you so braved the -9 temperatures and the pain of my hangover to take these:

Thanks for looking

it is places like this that are the reason I like going on UE Forums - places I've not seen before and have interesting pictures. It is my new years resolution to do more exploring rather that more tourist trail, and this is exactly the sort of place where I will be looking out for. Nice stuff indeed
