Wallbridge Mils
II
Water grist mill. Circa late C17; extended circa early C19. Coursed stone rubble with dressed stone quoins. Bridgwater clay tile roof with gabled ends.
PLAN: The early C19 mill is rectangular on plan [on N-S axis] with its water wheel in the south end; later outshuts on the N and S sides; on the N end is a C19 and C20 single-storey range, connecting the C19 mill to the late C17 mill to the north, on an E-W axis.
EXTERIOR: 3-storey early C19 mill; tall long range with various small windows, some with stone frames, others with cambered brick arches. Later outshuts on north and south sides. Single-storey range on north end, across the north end of which is the late C17 mill which has wooden 2 and 3-light ovolo-moulded frame windows on the east end and a large gabled weatherboarded sack-hoist housing of later date on its north front; the roof has partly collapsed.
INTERIOR: The C19 iron machinery survives intact. It appears to have a layshaft drive, with two pairs of concrete stones driven by bevel gearing on a lineshaft from the pitwheel and waterwheel below within the south end of the mill. At the other end of the lineshaft is the belt drive for the lineshafting above on the stones and bin floor; wooden bins and hopper on the stones floor. Late C17 mill interior not accessible, its roof has partly collapsed.
Wallbridge Mill is situated on the confluence of the River Frome and Rodden Brook, on the edge of the town of Frome.
