Leek Legends & Heritage Heroes...
🛠️ Experience Brindley’s Genius at Brindley Water Mill
Step into 1752...
James Brindley—the man who pioneered Britain’s canals—began his engineering journey right here in Leek. His only surviving corn mill, built in 1752 on Mill Street, is a Scheduled Monument and Grade II listed building

✨ Why visit?

Witness a restored breast-shot water wheel powering oak-timbered machinery and milling corn—very much as Brindley intended

Explore the James Brindley Museum: Brindley’s original surveying level, his notebook, and tools still on display.

Soak in the atmosphere: the sounds, the smells, the hum of history in motion .

📅 Visitor info:
Restored in the 1970s, opened in 1974 with museum added in 1980.
Guided tours bring the mill—and Brindley’s legacy—to life.

The volunteers there do an amazing job...
