Steam Mill , Hunt End.
« on: Tuesday 07 July 15 13:58 BST (UK) »
Please can anyone help me find information about a Steam Mill which was located on what is now called Feckenham Rd in Hunt End, Redditch. I believe it may have been converted into cottages but would be really interested to know when and any other information as to where exactly it was and what it was used for .

I've tried but have limited time so any help would be great.  Or just a clue as to where to start!

Thank you

The Givry needle works is mentioned a lot, picture here (if of any relevance):

This claims several small mills:

Hi Sharon
I believe that I live in one of the cottages that used to be part of the Steam Mill in Feckenham Road Hunt End. The Mill is now 3 cottages. Old Mill Cottage, Mill End Cottage and Steam Mill House. My understanding is that Old Mill Cottage & Mill End Cottage were the mill and Steam Mill House was the managers house. The stream that 'fueled' the mill still exists. I believe that the mill produced needles.
