Tewkesbury Mill FULL EXPLORE 4k

Healing's Mill was originally built for Samuel Healing in 1865, as a steam-powered roller mill.

At that time, it was considered to be the largest and most modern flour mill in the world, producing 25 sacks of flour an hour at its peak in 1892.

ADM Milling ceased operations on the site in October 2006 after 141 years, and St Francis Group purchased the site for redevelopment in 2008.



Tewkesbury is a market town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It stands at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon, and also minor tributaries the Swilgate and Carrant Brook. It gives its name to the Borough of Tewkesbury, of which the town is the second largest settlement. It lies in the far north of the county, forming part of the border with Worcestershire.

The name Tewkesbury comes from Theoc, the name of a Saxon who founded a hermitage there in the 7th century, and in the Old English language was called Theocsbury.[2][3] An erroneous derivation from Theotokos (the Greek title of Mary, mother of God) enjoyed currency in the monastic period of the town's history.

The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on 4 May 1471, was one of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses.



We visit the 1800s flour mill which is in a stalled state of demolition. The demolition plans aim to protect and retain the best buildings of the former flour mill, to then be converted as part of the area's regeneration.
