Heritage Open Day: Burton Mill is a working watermill producing stoneground flour and hydro-electricity. Visitors will see water-powered flour milling and dressing and other heritage machinery. There is a small exhibition of interesting historical artefacts and photos. Burton Mill dates from 1790 and milled flour until around 1900 after when it continued to operate as a sawmill and hydro power generator. Milling restarted for a few years in the 1980s.

You will also see the 1929 Gilkes turbine powering the millstones, a flour dresser and an 1880s roller mill alongside electricity generation...
