Newly Restored Eling Tide Mill, Totton, Southampton
Eling Tide Mill is a water mill that harnesses the power of the tide to grind wheat into flour. Situated on the edged of Southampton Water beside the renowned New Forest - there has been a mill on this site for over 900 years. It ceased to be a working mill in the 1940s, but had the good fortune to survive until it was restored between 1975 and 1980, at which time it reopened as both a working mill and a museum to form part of our industrial heritage. It is one of the only fully working and productive tide mills in the United Kingdom, producing flour as it has throughout the last millennium. In fact one of a handful of tide mills in the world still producing flour on a regular basis.

Eling Tide Mill has stood at the centre of life in Eling for centuries. For 900 years millers have harnessed the power of the tides in Eling Creek to grind wheat into flour. Today the Grade II* listed tide mill (c. 1785) and adjacent heritage centre form the Eling Experience. Now a partnership of New Forest District Council (NFDC) and Totton and Eling Town Council are investing in its future after securing a £1.3million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The project includes essential conservation of the mill, extending and developing the heritage centre to create a new learning centre and café, and improving access to our outdoor areas of Goatee Beach and Bartley Water.

Eling Tide Mill
The only working Tide Mill in the world regularly producing wholemeal flour as it did centuries ago.
Eling Tide Mill, situated on an artificial causeway in Eling in Hampshire, England, is the sole remaining operating tide mill in the UK. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the current dam was rebuilt roughly 200 years ago after storm damage. The mill has a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive a millstone each. One wheel runs, the other is kept as a static exhibit. The running wheel and its milling and other mechanisms are encased for safety of miller and visitors, the static wheel is immobile and kept that way to show visitors the detail that is obscured by the running mechanism's safety enclosures. The mill can be productive for between five and seven hours each day.
For much of the mill's life it has been owned by Winchester College. A lease survives from the year 1418, when the College leased the mill to Thomas Mydlington, requiring him to maintain the mill and the causeway. The causeway was prone to collapse right up until 1940 when modern engineering calculations revealed the cause to be the design of the sluices. This was then corrected. The mill was out of action between 1946 and 1980 when it reopened.
I loved filming there - it's well worth a visit if you happen to be in Hampshire.

Woodbridge Tide Mill
An example of 17th century technology that survived well into the 20th century. An excellent restoration job funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the efforts of a team of dedicated volunteers have resulted in a fine and interesting tourist attraction. This material was shot completely ad hoc, handheld on my Panasonic DMC-TZ80, at up to ISO800, so it's all a bit wobbly and grainy!

If you were compiling a list of jobs that were obsolete in the 21st Century, then the job of a ‘Tide Miller’ would be pretty close to the top.
