Bedgreave New Mill

Bedgreave New Mill is a corn mill that now serves as a visitors' centre for a country park. It was likely built in the mid to late 18th century, with a later addition of an engine house, and was restored and partly reconstructed around 1982. The building is made of rubble and ashlar sandstone, with gables rebuilt in brick and a 20th-century pantile roof. It has a T-shaped plan, with the mill forming a cross-wing on the left and a lower range, now a cafeteria, on the right, which includes the later engine house in the rear angle.

The mill has two storeys with a loft, featuring two windows and a door on the first floor. It has large quoins, and the ground floor includes a boarded door in a bonded surround flanked by 20th-century casements with small panes and thick glazing bars in square-faced surrounds. On the first floor, there is a wooden-framed door flanked by windows similar to those below. The brick gable has a wooden-linted casement, shaped kneelers, and renewed ashlar copings. The range on the right is single-storey, with a large, quoined waggon entrance on the left that has boarded infill and part-glazed double doors, alongside four part-glazed doors and one casement on the right, all beneath plain lintels. The rear features a brick, one-storey engine house with a separate roof.

Inside, the mill's late 19th-century machinery is located in the bagging room of the cross-wing. This includes gearing and vertical shafts connected to two sets of millstones on the first floor, and a horizontal screw conveyor that transports the produce to a bagging point. A new mill pond is mentioned in the enclosure award of 1768, which may indicate the date of the New Mill's construction. The mill was originally powered by water until it was converted to steam around 1886 due to seepage from the mill race into mine workings. The remaining machinery suggests that the mill was last used as a provender mill before its closure in 1947. It is a significant part of this important mill group.
