Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a Grade I listed mill dating from 1170, that still mills flour. Restored, it is a popular, interactive museum where working machinery and milling bring history to life

A drawing by J Kenneth Major, architect, extracted from the cover of a report he produced in Jan 1967. Corrugated iron, no fire escape, a dilapidated Weaver Room and a pier! #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #woodbridgetidemill #suffolkmuseums #woodbridgetowncouncil #millhistory

#woodbridgetidemill has an electric motor to cover when the ancient machinery cannot work. Clients must be supplied with flour. The motor's belts were recently replaced and tightened. Thanks to the team at #dpmengineers especially Oliver Manning for the pics. #millengineers

Steve Molyneux of #woodbridgetidemillmuseum is alarmed as the River Deben starts to sneak out of the drain near the Mill during the high tides last week. #choosewoodbridge #woodbridgetidemill #stephenmolyneux #flooding #riverdeben

In 1792 the #woodbridgetidemill was purchased by John Cutting, coal merchant and farmer. A year later he pulled it down and the building we see today was built. This image was painted in 1770 and shows the Mill before it was rebuilt. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #history #millhistory

Mill Warden Christina spotted this lovely watercolour by Francesca Townsend at The Art Space on Woodbridge Thoroughfare. With so many paintings of the Mill, sadly we can't afford them all! www.lennyandfrancesca.co.uk #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #francescatownsend #suffolkartists

A friend of the Mill found this contact print of the Mill in his father's effects, perhaps taken before he started national service in the late 1940s. Do you think you know the earliest photo of the Mill? Please post it. woodbridgetidemillmuseum #woodbridgetidemill #MillHistory
