Laying behind the beautiful Trowse Pump station lies this often overlooked old mill. I really cant find much about it other than the obvious that John Barnard Furniture occupied the lower floors in its last incarnation. so heres the tour.

Some of the original mill gear is still evident in the lower rooms.

Along with various pieces of machinery.

Moving up the floors above seem to of been used for clothing sales of some sort along with more storage.

Finally moving into the far side, this is pretty empty but you are greeted by this rather lovely spiral!
