The House Mill, Three Mill Lane, Bromley-by-Bow, East London

 

Built in 1776,  but originally dating from the medieval period, the Grade I-listed House Mill claims to be the world’s largest surviving tidal mill. It sits on an island in the River Lea, opposite the Clock Mill, which was rebuilt in 1817. The House Mill stopped milling in 1941 after the area was bombed during the Second World War, but the Clock Mill continued to operate until 1952.
