Bark mill

Overshot waterwheel at Combe House Hotel in Holford, Somerset, England. It was used to grind oak bark for the tannery complex established here in the 1840s. When the tannery closed in 1900 the waterwheel was adapted to other uses such as grinding grain for grist, cutting chaff, chopping apples for the cider press and generating electricity. It also cracked stones in a nearby quarry.

The Beith Bark Mill

Bark mills were used to grinding or cutting the roots, branches, or barks of different species of trees, to form a fine powder (tanbark) suitable for the operations of the tanner in the preparation of leather for clothes, boots, furniture, etc. The powdered wood more quickly yields up the tannin required for the tanning process. The dried bark was often stored in bark houses.
