Middle Mill Weir
A mill has stood on this site since the time of the Norman Conquest
"My grandfather Exekial, my father Wasey Chopping and Uncle
Percy ground the whitest flour in Essex here for over one hundred
years"
Richard Chopping, son
of Wasey Chopping, Miller
and Mayor of Colchester, 1922
Beneath this sign lies a time capsule buried when the Mill Weir was restored
by Colchester Borough Council and the Environment Agency in 2000AD.
