Tide Mills of Western Europe Exhibition 2012


 


It could be said that the county of Hampshire has more than its fair share of tide mills – a fact which makes Hampshire unique.  The inlets and creeks of our coastline and waterways have provided excellent opportunities for harnessing water power and this exhibition will demonstrate the skill of Britain’s earliest milling engineers in doing just that.  Other European countries also have tide mills and you can compare the ingenuity employed in creating them.  David Plunkett is the U.K. Co-ordinator for the Tide Mills of Western Europe Exhibition which can be visited at the three very different venues:

June 27 – 30.  July 4 – 8 and 11  - 14 at Eling Tide Mill, Totton, Southampton. SO40 9HF.    10am – 4pm daily
