RichardB Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 1864 'At Rowel Bridge is the Inn which takes its name from the place, and which is kept by Mr. John Waters. Part of the building is also used as a flour mill. Mrs. Waters, in the middle of the night, was awoke by the roar of the advancing flood, which, she says, sounded like a clap of thunder. She awoke her husband, and the inmates of the house. The water had burst through the doors and windows, and filled the house up to a considerable height. There was no time to dress, and, just as they were, the inmates all escaped through a door which leads from the house to the flour mill thence they proceeded to a hayloft, and got on to the roof. The buildings being situated at the foot of a steep hill, they easily escaped from the roof to the hill side, ran up the hill, and sought shelter at a neighbour's house. There they dressed themselves, as best they could, got some refreshment, and went back to see what was the condition of their own habitation.

RichardB Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Originally the mills were constructed to grind corn for flour, but progressively their use was broadened out to serve other needs, particularly the grinding wheels of the Sheffield cutlers and for textile and paper manufacture. 28 more pages, also posted elsewhere ... http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/commo...rt_1_chap2b.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddy Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 In late 1795, the Club Flourmill was erected, and it used the same weir and goit as the Old Park Rolling Mills. The laying of the foundation stone was a stirring occasion. The various friendly societies or sick clubs of Sheffield decided to build a mill to produce good flour at a cheaper price than the retailers. On the 5th of November 1795 the masons society followed by a number of other clubs each with a handsome banner flying, accompanied by music, a drum beating, marched around the town, crossed the River Don over the wooden bridge from Hillfoot to Farfield and then to the site for the laying of the stone. Once the mill was in operation, the clubs decided to diversify. They established a cheap shoe scheme and planned a cheap milk scheme. All the schemes failed within a few years and the land and building reverted back to the landowners possession. From then on it continued its original purpose as a Corn Mill. Club Mill Road derives its name from the Club Mill. --History of Neepsend--Paul Hodkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 there was a flour mill at Fulwood in the 1600's. In 1641 Ulysses Fox was ordered by the Court of Kings Bench to pay £35 8s 9d for 'trespass' against the manorial monopoly of milling. In a contemporary order requiring Fox to to grind at the manorial mills, his defence was that he lived 4 miles away, but it was not accepted. So the Lord of the Manor apparently had his mills in Sheffield to which everyone was obliged to take their grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
