There is hardly a more picturesque setting than that of an old mill. Indeed some of England's greatest painters have chosen mills as subjects. Using water or wind to harness energy is an ancient notion and the steams and rivers of Britain have been driving mill wheels for thousands of years. Early on, mills were small, local business, grinding corn, flour or flax. As industry grew, the Victorians built more and greater mills to drive the growth of machinery. Large mills powered enormous equipment that sawed, ground, or lifted huge hammers to card cotton or pull wool. By the end of 19th century, there were 20,000 mills in England. Before the zenith of the Industrial revolution, on a dusty village road, the miller at Brandon Mill gound corn for his neighbors.
