Bourne Mill, Colchester a98_17146
Bourne Mill, Colchester, Essex. This ornate building was erected in 1591 as a fishing lodge on the River Colne by Sir Thomas Lucas, reusing stone and architectural fragments from St Johns Abbey which was demolished following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In the 19th century it was converted into a fulling mill, powered from a mill pond to the rear. In 1833 it was again converted, this time into a flour mill, when the weather boarded hoist loft was added. Photographed by Hallam Ashley in October 1947

This ornate building, with its rich history and architectural charm, was originally erected in 1591 as a fishing lodge by Sir Thomas Lucas. 3.
