The remains of the town mill (for grain) lie near the river Sow (obviously, because Stafford's town mill was a watermill).

There has almost certainly been a mill on the site since 1086. The last mill finally stopped working in 1957, and the remains you see now are the remains of that mill.

The river is no longer diverted underneath the two waterwheels, so you can explore without getting your feet wet!

Address: Mill Bank
Directions: At the junction of Tenterbanks and Mill Bank, to the south of the town centre and at one entrance to Victoria Park.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
