Newmill, Mill of Newmill - 07/2010

[ZombieSazza]

Newmill, Mill of Newmill, Keith, Morayshire. A flying visit when up in the area and a chance to christen my new camera I would have posted this sooner but swamped with a lot of work and Googling this thing was a pain as I never knew the name.

TheSurveyor and I went down a tiny track to meet the owners not knowing this place was owned, they are selling thr grounds for £90,000 and thought we were strange for wanting to take pictures as they though it was 'falling apart and decrepit'. just the way we like things

This historic building hasoccupied the site since the early 19th century although an earlier mill is understood to have occupied the site for several centuries. The current building comprises a two storey meal mill with kiln. The original paddle wheel and other original machinery are still present.

The woman never told us about the machinery and we expected to find a shell of a building...

Some externals and a little photo bombing by TS showing off his new car and wanted it in pics...









And now for some internals...

















According to the current owner (I sadly can't find supporting evidence and I am still looking for images of the mill in its original state) the mill has a lot of history and Monks used this Mill in the 14th Century

I didn't hold out much hope when I saw the outside, but then seeing the inside, I'm very impressed. Lovely shots too

[lost]

Aye, a lot more impressive inside than out.
What's your new camera?

It's a Nikon D3000. Weirdly after the amount of knocks The 'Tank' suffered before having a shutter death I got insurance.....

I would have found out what was behind the door but the floor looked dodgy as hell and the window frame I was standing in wasn't very safe as the stone work was pretty shite...
