Whitchurch Silk Mill - a photo on Flickriver

            This mill was constructed in 1800 and is located on the River Test at Whitchurch in Hampshire. In 1817 a new owner acquired it and changed its usage from a fulling mill for cloth to a silk mill. It subsequently changed ownership several times but remained as a silk mill until the 1980’s. It was then acquired by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust who operate it as a tourist attraction with limited silk weaving still taking place.

Sadly, the water wheel that provides power is located inside the black building and is not visible.

The mill is a grade2 listed building and therefore has legal protection from demolition or major alteration without prior approval from the Local Authority - Basingstoke and Dene District Council

The River Test is only 40 miles long but one of the finest chalk streams in England – crystal waters rich in flora and fauna are listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest {SSSI}. It is renowned for fly fishing for trout.
