House Mill

One of two remaining mills from a trio that once stood on this small island in the River Lea, House Mill (1776) operated as a sluice tidal mill, grinding grain for a nearby distillery until 1941. Tours, which run at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3pm and last about an hour, take visitors to all four floors of the mill and offer a fascinating look at traditional East End industry.
