Birchley Mill, Bockleton, Worcs This old corn mill is complete with wooden and iron machinery. The massive black waterwheel at the side has recently been restored and part of this can be seen on the right in this view. The mill is not normally open to the public but was open on the Sunday of The National Mills Weekend 2015. It is right on the edge of O.S. square SO5864 but a little of the rear is in SO5964.
