Each place in the leaflet has a description, opening times, admission details. The entry for our Mill is described as:

"Crabble Corn Mill was built in 1812 to feed thousands of troops defending Dover and the Kent Coast against the threat of invasion by Napoleon. By the time the mill closed in 1893, this fine Georgian watermill represented the 'state-of-the-art', with the latest in American-designed automatic machinery to mill, sieve and grade flour. Then it was just one of over a dozen watermills making flour or paper along the short river Dour in Dover. Despite all its technology the mill closed when steam power replaced water power. It was a minor miracle that it survived 70 years of closure with its contents intact. Now you can visit the mill and see it working and enjoy and relax in our riverside Tea Room with splendid views across the millpond."
