Hinxton Watermill - Meal Floor
A view of the meal floor, the flour can be seen coming out. One of the three tentering beams is also visible. Behind the wooden shuttering is the site of the pit wheel. The wallower and shaft for the great spur wheel survive. The pit wheel became disused after a water turbine connected straight to the great spur wheel was installed.
Hinxton Watermill
Hinxton Watermill is a 17th C watermill in the Cambridgeshire village of Hinxton. Powered by the river Cam is a small J C Wilson & Co turbine that replaced a undershot wheel in 1914. Inside are three sets of stones, one pair working and producing flour (demonstration only). Also of interest is a Birmingham built Tangye water pump. Run by the Cambridge Preservation Society and open for several days a year.
