Some old mill buildings

[BDennis]

Some photos I took on a walk from our Bedfordshire village just into South Cambridgeshire. Quite interesting as there was initially a water mill on the river (the Rhee, a tributary to the River Cam), then a steam mill was added hence the chimney. Later a Windmill was built nearby. Researching the history I found out the water mill dated from the 18th century and the windmill was added in 1835. Milling stopped in 1935 and the buildings are now private residences. Photos were all taken from a public footpath that goes around the site.
