The Old Mill Knightsford Bridge, 1910.


Photograph (Many thanks to Major [Retd] Janet Brodie-Murphy) of the Old Mill, Knightsford Bridge, 1910. A nice photo showing the mill wheel and the weir, which provided the height of water needed to keep it turning. A little boat is moored and probably belonged to the miller.

John Foot and his family lived there all the time I was at Knightwick and it was one of the places I delivered the Worcester evening news to as a boy. The mill wasn't in operation then and John worked for Worcester Council and also gave up some of his spare time, to sheriff the Knightwick Youth Club.
