This Mill was originally one of Essex’s watermills. It closed in 1926, when the town waterworks was built on the site. The waterworks became redundant in 1984 when the town was supplied from another pumping station further down the River. It has been sat alone and empty since 1984. Beautiful art deco style building virtually untouched since closing.

Visited with a non member, he had been before and took me round to see it. It was a nice easy explore.

Lots to see but mainly that control panel at the top of the stairs which looks as if its waiting for you as you walk round the corner. The tiled floors and walls are basically untouched bar a few that have lost their glueyness. There are a few large tanks, 6 I think.

Some laboratory rooms and some weird happenings down stairs in the toilet. There were animals basically ripped apart, human clothes in a little cubby hole so can only think there must have been some sort of weirdo in there at some point. More newspaper, the last 3 explores I have done there has ben dated newspaper, in this whole place there was just 1 page with the date. And lots of dial porn :D

Hope you enjoy, I liked this place :p
