The flour mill in Tewkesbury dates back to 1865 and produced flour for over 150 years.  Grain was shipped up the river from Avonmouth. It was closed in November 2006 and its future remains uncertain with large structural issues effecting the silo building

    We shouldn`t demolish our history. We need to keep reading and learning about the past and being able to see buildings as they once were where people worked in harsh conditions to give us our daily bread.

    You wouldn’t get permission due to the state of the buildings.

    Who do I speak to about visiting the mills as me and friends are doing ghost hunts around Tewkesbury as I’m local myself and don’t want to go in without permission we have high VI’s and boots

    We RKBrowning Ltd used to deliver calcium carbonate in Tankers to the silo’s– Healings used to phone us when their yard was flooding,informing us ” Tanker driver must bring Wellingtons” Could not occur in today’s environment. Hope someone can save the lovely old buildings.

    My husband worked at hearings for thirty four years it should have been left as a museum and people paid to see how flour is milled for their bread

    Found this last weekend, shame to see something with such history in such a state. Would be so cool if it would convert to accommodation but doesn’t sound promising

    Yeah that silo really isn’t in good shape, before long it presumably will become too dangerous

    Hi LD
    Healings is now owned by a developer and has an uncertain future due to
    huge structural problems.The silo building leans at about 20 degrees due to
    sinking foundations and has sealed access.Cannot see this building being renovated due to huge cost.
    A GREAT SHAME AS THIS IS ONE OF THOSE vICTORIAN MILLS THAT
    EXPRESSED THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

    Yes it is but it’s also well sealed from what I was told recently.

    Do you know if this place is still abandoned?
