MILL MEADOW AND SURROUNDING AREA

Wildlife in the mill meadows

The sheep keep a watchful eye out even when the Mill is closed

The Friends of Bromham Mill have recently installed bird and bat boxes in the Mill meadows and on the island. A map and details of sitings will be placed on this page soon.

The mill island is home to three sheep, Shorn, Shaky and Stroppy - so named after their reactions to being shorn for the first time!

Why not visit Stevington postmill while you're in the area?

A postmill originally built around 1770, it was still in use until the 1930s. Following recent restoration, the sails can be seen turning at least twice a year - ring Bromham Mill for details on (01234) 824330.

For an inside view of the postmill, visitors can obtain a key from either of the Royal George pub or the Red Lion pub (both in Silver Street in Stevington village). A returnable deposit is required.

See the Bedford Borough Council website for more detail about Stevington postmill.
