Sadler's Mill
Highlight • River
Lord Palmerston bought the Sadler's Mill around 1740. At this time, there was a mill for fulling (part of the cloth making process) and a mill for corn.
In the 20th century, an electric generator replaced the corn milling, to act as a backup electricity supply for the Broadlands estate.
Until the water flow was altered in the 1990s, this spot was a brilliant place to watch salmon leaping through the river, as they swam upstream to spawn.
