Preston Mill has worked since the 16th century but the present mill building dates to the 18th century. The mill continued to be used to grind oatmeal commercially until 1959. Today the water wheel still turns, and the mill is open to visitors.
The weir on the river Tyne was used to control the water levels and maintain a good supply of water to the mill. It's a lovely place to stop on a walk with a convenient bench to sit and watch the river from.
