Townsford Mill, which straddles the River Colne, dates back to 1740
and was originally water powered, but eventually gave way to steam. It was
one of the first Courtauld´s mills and produced the silk for Queen
Victoria´s mourning gowns. It now houses 90 antiques and collectables
dealers showing their wares in 5000 sq.ft spread over two floors of the
mill.
Some episodes of the TV programme Lovejoy were also filmed at the mill. It
is located at the bottom of Halstead's main shopping street, a tradition
style High Street with many interesting shops.
The ground floor of the mill also houses Dickens Restaurant and Cafe Bar, so
why not make it a day out to remember with great food and drink in the
beautiful surroundings of Townsford Mill.
