A WATER mill opened during the Easter holiday to show visitors its inner workings.

Visitors were able to see the fully-restored, four-storey Tocketts mill, near Guisborough, as it ground local wheat on Sunday and yesterday.

Tocketts is a grade II listed building and has fully-working elevators, a sack-hoist and grain dresser.

The restoration, carried out with help from students from the former South Park Sixth Form College, started in 1974, and many of those who helped with the work are still involved.

The mill also houses a collection of historical farming and milling items.

Visitors have the opportunity to taste bread made from the mill's own flour.
