Langley's Mill




This pair of 17th-century cottages in City Bank Road are the remains of the old Langley Mill.  The right-hand cottage has changed hands fairly recently - but the owners obviously care about its history, to judge by the DIY information board (photo below).

I remember the building as atmospherically ancient, with overgrown gardens, but today it seems a bit newly shaved and over-exposed.

However, this is a still a magical place. There has been a mill here since Domesday, probably long before, and a river crossing literally from time immemorial.  Today, in the sunshine and quiet, you feel that eons pass in the blink of an eye......



This is about all the available information!
My Mills & Milling in Gloucestershire book has the entry:
Langley's/Bramble Mill:  ?Corn mill, after 1540. Last working, c. 1820?
