Stretton (water) Mill Cheshire.

The earliest record of the mill is 1351, the current mill building was started 1630 on the footings of an earlier mill. By the end of the 19th century was producing animal feed, during the second world war the roller mills at ports were suffering from bombing and the grain supply from Canada and USA was blockaded. As a result Stretton and other small mills around the country had to supply the country, working 24/7. The last miller was Albert Victor who retired 1959, John Boucher restored the mill and opened it to the public as a working museum 1977.
