This is was a really pleasant visit and I’m
glad I got the chance to see it. Ideally when the tides are high enough the
waterwheel will turn the machinery and mill grain to produce flour; this is
where the title ‘living museum’ comes into play. Unfortunately I didn’t
consider this at all before visiting and so the only noise was from creaky
floorboards. Still, it was very interesting to see and learn about this piece
of history. I was particularly fond of the rustic feel of the building, exposed
chipped beams and traditional machinery; on top of that there was a stunning
view of the River Deben at low tide. I could find no fault with this place
until it came to the challenge of finding the paper mice; with names like Neil,
Mac and Stan, scattered around the building. Designed for kids I thought it
would be easy to find all 12 of them. How wrong I was.
