GAZETTEER OF FEATURED MILLS

For the definitive United Kingdom mills directory I would refer you to "Mills Open", published by the SPAB, covers more than 400 mills around the UK, many of which are regularly open to the general public. A lot of the others make a special effort to open for "National Mills Day" which is usually the second weekend in May.

The list that follows is restricted to the other mills, up and down the country, which have been mentioned on this site. Enquiries data is correct as per "Mills Open 2000".
