<p>Originally the mill dates from 1706. It now has 4 sails, and was rebuilt in 1826. It was used to grind flour and animal feeds, and in 1927 was adapted to run by diesel engine. It was used until 1948.</p>

<p>I went on a photographic walk from Berkswell near Balsall Common and came across the Sixteen acre wood. This is alongside the HS2 line. It struck me how much disruption is taking place. I had not encountered it close up other than the inconvenience of traffic changes around the M42 and A452. This part of the wood will become an embankment. Here we see the wood is being cleared and every so often the trees or paths are marked with red flags/circles or blue circles. I documented the area with photography as it will change.</p>
