Cleobury Mill, Cleobury North - stone floor Not safe for the public and photographed from the door. Two unclothed sets of French burr stones for flour production. These are underdrift by a layshaft drive rather than a great spur wheel.

Cleobury Mill This waterwheel has lost all its wooden spokes but the shrouds and a few rotten buckets are maintaining the shape. The wheel is obviously overshot but the launder has long since gone. This mill was seen as part of Mills Open 2012.
