The old Bishop Mills on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. While this building was only constructed in the 1830s, there have been flour mills on this site since at least the 17th Century. I particularly like the wheat sheaf finial on its gable end to signify the mill's purpose.

Reminder: Our writers’ night is every Thursday at the Wheatsheaf in Margate
Thanet Creative run a writers’ night (almost) every Thursday at 7:30pm in The Wheatsheaf Margate. The writers’ night is open to anyone. We discuss all aspects of writing and editing with a core part of the evening being a time to review and give feedback to each other on written work.
If you would like some of your writing critiqued, please bring about five copies – in a good-sized font (12pt+). We suggest no more than five sides of A4 so that we can read the work of everyone who may have brought some.
When you arrive, if you cannot immediately spot us please ask the lovely staff who will be happy to point us out to you.
The old Bishop's Mill on the River Kelvin in Glasgow this evening.
Built in the mid 1800s for William Wilson, miller and grain merchant, it was originally powered by a water wheel. It was converted into flats in the 1980s.
I particularly like the wheat sheaf finials on the gable ends to signify the mill's purpose.
