My next entry is for a the Mill

This is Quay Tide Mill, Emsworth, which was a water powered flour mill. Water was stored in the mill pond and then released at low tide to power the mill. The old gates at to the right of the mill below the footbridge. The Mill Pond itself was formed in 1760 when the mill on the Town Quay was built. The mill ceased to work as a tidal mill after 1921. The building is now the Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club. The large pale coloured building behind was the The Quay Mill Storehouse.
