Hockley
Mill on the River Itchen is open during National
Heritage weekend and by request.
|
A three storey brick water mill with tiled roof
built in 1803 and adjoining barn (now converted into
houses). The mill still contains a working
iron Poncelet style waterwheel which drives an
unusual horizontal timber mainshaft designed to
primarily drive barn machinery. Two pairs of
stones remain and the mostly wooden
machinery for their operation is intact although not
used.

Hockley Mill is off the B3335
at its junction with Church Lane Twyford, 1km south
of the B3335 M3 junction, and 1km north of Twyford.

John Brandrick has since he retired devoted
considerable time and his great expertise in making
3D drawings to record the structure and machinery of
mills.
We are very lucky that he
has visited Headley and Hockley mills and here are
some of his exceptional drawings. Please visit
his website and his page on Hockley Mill for
