Did an ancestor own, operate or work at a British mill? Perhaps a farmer ancestor took corn to be ground at a local windmill or watermill.
New from the National Library of Scotland is a web resource showing the locations and details of over 15,000 mill sites mapped in 18th-19th century Britain. You can browse and filter the mill records by survey date, map symbology, mill type, and distance from rivers.
The mills were identified from county maps (1729-1836) and Military Survey of Scotland maps (1747-1755) as part of a Leverhulme Trust project based at the University of Glasgow. Find out more background here.
