A HISTORIC water mill in Worcestershire will open its doors to the public as part of national mills weekend.
Visitors can explore Shelsley Water Mill in the Teme Valley on Saturday, May 9, and Sunday, May 10, from 11am to 4pm.
The building is the county's only working water-powered corn mill - but it has not always been in prime condition.
It was abandoned in the 1920s and left derelict for decades until a small group of retired enthusiasts took it over in 2006.
They undertook a "remarkable" four-year restoration project, re-instating the old mill pond, renewing rotten timbers and replacing rusted iron work.
In 2010 the mill was officially re-opened by Lady Alexandra Winnington and has since been producing its own wholemeal flour.
During the special weekend, visitors will be able to see a short DVD presentation of the restoration story before touring the building while it is in full operation.
Entry is free but donations to Shelsley Water Mill Society, the charity that looks after the mill, will be welcomed.
