Fromebridge Mill

Fromebridge Mill is a mill building situated in Frampton-on-Severn, with a history of milling dating back to the Domesday Book. The site has been used for various industries including corn, fulling, wire, and brass production, and is currently used for animal feeds. The main structure was rebuilt in the late 18th century and extended, likely in the mid-19th century.

The mill is constructed primarily of brick, with some older sections featuring slag block walling, and has a slate roof alongside a later corrugated asbestos roof on a north wing. The main block is two storeys and a loft, with coped verges, kneelers, and a finial on the south gable end above a large lean-to with a pantile roof. A tapering brick chimney tower is located at the left corner, rounded on the right-hand side. A keyed oculus is visible on the gable end. Slag blocks are present on the west side, facing the mill leat, with small, scattered window openings. The east side features cambered-headed three-light window openings, flanking a door leading up a flight of seven stone steps to the first floor. Inside this section, the original machinery remains intact and is still operational, powered by a water-driven turbine situated on the side of the mill leat. An undershot water wheel, though no longer in use, is also present on the opposite side of the mill leat. A large, three-floor brick rear building has ten windows on the west side, most of which are bricked up, with cambered heads on the lower two floors. A large 20th-century lean-to is attached to the east. Internally, the construction is of timber posts and beams.
