Flatford Mill, Suffolk - a photo on Flickriver

            Flatford Mill, on the River Stour in Suffolk, was a successful commercial enterprise owned by John Constable’s father, the wealthy merchant Golding Constable, and later by John’s brother, Abram (John wanted to become a painter and showed little interest in the family business). The water-powered mill, built in 1733, ground grain for flour, and milling continued here until the early 20th century. 
 
After that, it fell into serious disrepair until it was acquired by the National Trust in 1943. It has now been restored to its former glory and is leased by the Trust to the Field Studies Council, an educational charity which helps people of all ages understand and be inspired by the natural world.

The mill is noted for its appearance in a number of John Constable's paintings, including Flatford Mill from a Lock on the River Stour and Flatford Mill from the Lock (A water mill), both owned by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
