In the medieval period, the mills along the Lower Lea, including Three Mills, were part of an important industrial centre and provided flour for the bakers of Stratford-atte-Bow, whose supply of bread to the City of London was renowned.
Archaeological investigation suggests that the House Mill and the Miller's House appear to be built on an artificial island in the channels of the Lea.
The surviving mill was roofed in Welsh slate, but evidence during restoration confirmed that it was originally roofed in clay tiles, which have therefore been used exclusively in the restoration.

 Longford's Mills
In 1433-4 only one mill, the corn mill at Longford, was being farmed, but the malt mill was almost certainly still working since barley malt was being produced and there was at this time a thatched malthouse on the manor.
One water-mill only at Longford was rented in 1493-4 but in 1501 Harmondsworth Mills, comprising a wheat mill and a malt mill in two houses at Longford, and the fishery of the mill stream, were leased by Winchester College to John Smallbroke of Longford, who received a livery of clothing from the college.
This mill must have been rebuilt, for in 1647 there were three newly built mills adjoining the wheat mill in Longford, one driving 24 hammers and the others 15 hammers each.

 The Milling Experiences of My Life.
This mill was built in 1680, and another mill nearby the Wye Mill in Wye Mills was built in 1664, but that mill at that time was operated by the local college students, and did not have the flavor of the old Linchester Mill, a.k.a.

 India Success Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Sugar mills in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are beginning to build cogeneration plants for power export and will soon generate electricity for sale to local utilities and industries.
A Winrock study team analyzed the economic performance of investments in various power system configurations at each mill, prepared detailed calculations of the value of the cogenerated power to the state utilities, and designed a sample power contract to be used as a basis for negotiation between the utilities and the sugar mills.
Mills aiming to export power will likely seek extraction condensing turbines and their associated control systems to maximize power output and provide flexibility in performance over a wide range of operational conditions.

In his shifting, suggestive parable, Mills throws into relief the stark essences of leadership and individuality, community and solitude, progress and retreat.
