WORSBROUGH MILL COUNTRY PARK

Worsbrough Mill, also known as Worsbrough Corn Mill and Worsbrough Mill Farm is a complex of buildings including a seventeenth-century water-powered mill and a nineteenth-century steam-powered mill in Worsbrough, Barnsley, England. The mill is open to the public and takes its water from the River Dove, but is hydraulically separate from Worsbrough Reservoir.

Worsbrough Mill on a bright day. The new mill is visible on the right, and the old mill abuts the new mill on the left. Both buildings are made from the same brown stone, and have the same stone roof; the new mill is higher. The new mill has three floors, and a total of 8 windows, one of which is a bottle window facing forward on the right, and one of which overlooks the old mill, facing left. The remaining six windows, facing forward, are arranged as follows. Ground floor: two adjacent windows. First floor: two adjacent windows, directly above the lower ones. Second floor: one window above the leftmost of the pair below, and one to the right of the rightmost window below. Directly above the rightmost window on the second floor is a false window that is apparently bricked in. The Old Mill has two windows visible and these are small and barred. Doors: there are three visible doors, one double door to the old mill, and two (one above the other) to the new mill, to the left of the bottle window. All doors are painted a dull green. There are two sloping stone structures in the foreground, about three feet high, to facilitate loading flour on to a wagon

Worsbrough Mill Country Park

Worsbrough Mill is located in the 240-acre Worsbrough Country Park, about 2 miles south of Barnsley on the A61, close to the M1 motorway. It includes the 60-acre Worsbrough Reservoir, which was built for the opening of the Dearne and Dove Canal in 1804.

The park includes footpaths and cyclepaths that meander through Willow Carr and around the circumference of the reservoir. Fishing is available in the upper pond and canal basin.
