Kersey Mill This watermill has recently been restored and can once again grind flour. Seen on National Mills Open days when it was freely accessible but not running. In addition to water power it has also previously used steam and gas engine power sources. It now has an auxiliary electric motor to supplement the water wheel.

Kersey Mill - waterwheel Low breastshot wheel with curved buckets resembling the Poncelet type of wheel. The mill has been restored and can be run on water or with an auxiliary electric drive that probably feeds in where a gas engine did previously.

Kersey Mill - waterwheel and electric motor This shows both the waterwheel and the modern auxiliary electric drive that I think feeds into the former gas engine drive. The gas engine is long gone. The motor has a control box hidden in the hurst frame and this appears to be a variable speed inverter drive.

Kersey Mill - auxiliary motor control The mill can be driven by an auxiliary motor in the wheel house. The on off switch and control box are hidden behind a wooden panel in the hurst frame in the mill proper. This shows it to be a variable speed motor with inverter drive. The mill is well restored and can once again make flour. However there is still much potential for further work and the upper floors were not accessible.

Kersey Mill - restored hurst frame This side of the frame has three sets of stones driven by the waterwheel and has been fully restored. The far set can also be turned by an auxiliary electric drive. Seen during National Mills Open weekend. The mill was just left open and we were completely undisturbed while we had a good look at the accessible portions of the mill.
