A friend of the Mill found this contact print of the Mill in his father's effects, perhaps taken before he started national service in the late 1940's. Do you think you know the earliest photo of the Mill? Please post it. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #woodbridgetidemill #MillHistory

A very kind gentleman dropped in to donate a puddingstone (R) to join our own (L). They are slow-wearing conglomerates of rock, assembled to create tools like quernstones for grinding grain and named after the puddings they resemble. #puddingstone #woodbridgetidemillmuseum

The millrace clears a channel in the mud every time the water wheel turns, providing food for the river birds. #choosewoodbridge #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #woodbridgetidemill #rspb #suffolkaonb #woodbridgehistoricriverside

Engineers were busy this morning lifting the water stone (powered by the tides) in preparation for cleaning or 'dressing'. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering #woodbridgetidemill #millengineeringdepartment #dressingthestones

An advantage of being a working museum is that your exhibits help maintain it! The trammel was involved in recent millstone dressing. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering #woodbridgetidemill #millengineeringdepartment
