Hooks Mill And Engine House

A late 18th-century water mill with later alterations and a 19th-century engine house, situated on the south-west side of Potton Road in Guilden Morden. The mill is primarily brick with a tarred brick plinth, timber framing, weatherboarding, and painted surfaces. The engine house is of gault brick. The roofs are plain tiled and slated. The mill is two storeys with attics, and includes a wheel house. A tall, tapering rectangular stack is a prominent feature of the engine house. The mill has two halved, boarded doors, with a loft door beneath a gabled sack hoist that projects above the eaves. There are two casement windows on each of the ground and first floors.

The interior of the mill is complete, featuring an iron wheel, wallower and pit-wheel, an upright shaft, an iron great spur wheel with wooden teeth, four pairs of under-driven stones, floor dressers, weighing machines, a sack hoist, and grain hoppers. A small office is located on the first floor, containing a ledger desk. The mill, historically called Hokes Melne in 1381, ceased operation around 1935.
