Mill:

Town Mill, Newbury

A electricity- and water-powered corn mill in the historic county of Berkshire, England.

Town Mill incorporated parts of a medieval watermill's structure, and was rebuilt in 1892 following a fire. In 1921 it was purchased by Hovis and later became part of Rank Hovis. It ceased work in 1972 and was re-developed for flats.
