The house mill





Built in 1776, the House Mill is the world’s largest surviving tidal mill and one of the best kept secrets in London. A riverside gem of the early industrial revolution, today the House Mill Trust delivers a range of activities and events including heritage tours, concerts, art exhibitions, and a range of classes.

The mills provided flour for the local bakers of Stratford-atte-Bow who sold their bread in the City of London. With the advent of the Gin Craze in the 18th century, the mills to an altogether different use – as part of the Three Mills Distillery. With supply contracts to the Royal Navy, the company grew in success and had its own carpenters, coopers and even operated a large farm of pigs. In the early 19th century the distillery produced the once popular Lamplighter Gin and established a network of freehouses, many of which continue today. The House Mill ceased milling in 1941 after the area was bombed during the Second World War.


I am wearing a beige suit with an ivory shirt and a blue floral print bandana. The brogues are my favorite ones with an exotic floral print in bottle green matching the leather belt. You have already seen the vintage looking Raybans before and the colourful laptop case with the drawing of a bike race of victorian era. Accessories that simply make your look more stylish and fun.
