Very dusty inside. Old bags of grain spilled everywhere on first and second floors. Huge, slowly decaying timbers. All sorts of gears, belts, and other machinery. Extremely cool place.

All kinds of stuff... some parts (like closer to the road) are newer and only have rusty old fridges, etc. However deeper and higher into the mill there is all kinds of machinery, gears, etc.

An old grist mill on the outskirts of Thamesford. Built in 1898 (to replace an earlier mill destroyed in a fire), and closed sometime in the 1980s. I found a vague reference to the "first Anglican mass" being held in 1845 in "Finckle's grist mill" in Thamesford, which I can only assume was the original mill before it was destroyed by fire. Very hard to find out any details or references online. Hopefully a local can add to this.

--UPDATE: The location was recently listed for sale on Kijiji (of all places) for $350,000. Google cache of the listing here. -- This location was recently purchased at auction, and the owner intends to begin development within the next five years to turn it into actual lodging. I'd say he has his work cut out for him. So in the meantime, he said he would be sealing it up so that no one gets hurt inside, something to do with being liable now that he owns the place. - Freebase.Ideal -- As of July 2008, the place is open and easily accessible.
