Laying behind the beautiful Trowse Pump station lies this often overlooked old mill. I really cant find much about it other than the obvious that John Barnard Furniture occupied the lower floors in its last incarnation. so heres the tour.

Some of the original mill gear is still evident in the lower rooms.

Along with various pieces of machinery.

Moving up the floors above seem to of been used for clothing sales of some sort along with more storage.

Finally moving into the far side, this is pretty empty but you are greeted by this rather lovely spiral!

Very nice mate. It took me about three years to cover the three buildings. I did this one about three years ago on the off chance of it being open. It was locked again quickly but seems to be wide open again now. Done the pump house the year before that as it was open for a few weeks. It's quite stunning inside.
