Mills Archive celebrates 10th anniversary

Congratulations to the Mills Archive, which is 10 years old this year!

The Mills Archive was established in 2002 as a permanent repository for historical and contemporary material on traditional mills and milling. Since then it has rescued over 1 million documents and images that might otherwise have ended up in a landfill site.

The collection, free to users and run by volunteers, shows the rich and diverse crafts, buildings, machinery, equipment and people involved with mills in the UK and around the world.

The Friends of Windmill Gardens are a Friend of the Mills Archive (if you see what we mean!), and the collection contains information about Brixton Windmill and several photos, including the one on the right.
