Morden Hall Snuff Mills, Morden Hall Park

            Fine example of part weatherboard part of brick built mills dating from the early 19c. Both were reasonably intact until the mid-nineteen seventies when the authorities decided to remove one of the mill wheels as the flow of the river was being impeded. This act of course ruined the look of the twin mills, they look odd with only one mill wheel. My drawing shows the two. I did this before the damage was done. The mills are situated close by Morden Hall in the park of that name. I have seen this park completely flooded in times of heavy rain, so maybe the flow impeded after all. The park, Morden Hall, and the mill buildings are owned by the National Trust.
In the hey-day of these mills, snuff taking was at its height, what the output of these mills were I do not know, but the taking of snuff must have been enormously popular, as there were other snuff mills along the river as well as these twins.
