An Original mid-20th Century Acrylic on Canvas Painting of Middle Mill, Castle Park, Colchester in Essex by Les Burrows. Middle Mill in Castle Park, Colchester was first known in the 1100s and was the King’s Mill and part of Colchester Castle. The mill, which was a corn mill, was repaired many times over the centuries. In the 1930s the mill changed ownership and the machinery was stripped out , in the early 1950s the local council took over the mill and then demolished it. This painting was completed in 1953 just before the demolition of the mill and so is a historical record of such a locally important building. Not a postcard but this image placed here for interest and for the sheer beauty of it.
