I too remember this mill from my childhood - my father used to take us with him to collect flour used to make the batter for his fish and chip shop in Winton. We often used to walk over the walls looking down at the rushing water and on over hte meadows.

I remember Throop Mill from when I was a young child. It has a fascination for me and my brothers. My mother forbid us to go near the river or mill without her. Of course we would go there as with all children water attracts. The Mill owner in those days was a Mr. Richard Parsons. I remember seeing the men inside the mill on a hot day, covered in white. On a summer Sunday the mill wouldn't be working so the water coming through from the wheel was a shallow stream where we children could paddle with mother watching.
