Abbotstone Mill parts:- wheel and bearing housings, weir and plate complete, main shaft and bearings, lay shaft and bearings, two stone nuts, two pairs of stones, tentering mechanism (one only), sack hoist bollard, five small shafts, grinding wheel and stand, grain dresser, miscellaneous small parts, timber from structure, wall plates and ties

These are the remaining components of a large water wheel and milling mechanism from the Abbotstone Mill in Hampshire, likely from the early 20th century.

The original hydropower, the technology to develop water wheel and milling mechanism is believed to have been introduced to the British Isles by the Romans in the 1st century. Larger scale water wheels such as this one would not be seen in Europe until the 8th century. This example is atypical of British waterwheel designs as it turns two milling stones at the same time, rather than just one.
