Albion Mill

Albion Mill is a corn mill built in the mid-1830s with later alterations. It is constructed of brick and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and a basement, with stone coping and kneelers. The roof space is illuminated by large round-headed two-light windows on each gable wall of the original structure, while elliptical-headed windows with small-paned iron glazing are present throughout both main sections of the mill. The lower extensions are flush with the original mill building and are part of an important group of industrial and canal structures.

Inside, the entrance retains its original pentice supported by circular iron columns, which are now within a later 20th-century entrance building. Similar columns support the floors of both the original mill and the principal extension, suggesting they were built around the same time. The stairs feature simple newels and railings, and the roof has king post trusses. The mill originally extended over a branch of the Birmingham Canal and had its own internal wharf and loading gear; the now-blocked arches that marked the canal branch still exist, along with some original landing gear. Shortly after its construction, the mill was expanded to include a large grain bin that rises through all the floors, with the extension located to the right under three separately gabled roofs. Despite alterations, Albion Mill is a notable example of an early 19th-century corn mill integrated with the West Midlands canal system.
