The Three Corn Mills of Alston Walk

There were five corn mills on Alston Moor, two in Alston itself and another just outside. We’ll be finishing at the High Mill, which still retains many features of its working life. There are also a few stories of its life as ‘the secret factory’ during the Second World War and as a factory to make precision metal castings, such as golf club heads that were famous the world over.
