Winchester City Mill

I had another excursion into  Winchester  city centre today, on my way home, having taken  my car to be serviced.  
This is a view of the ancient  Winchester City Mill . This latest version was built in 1744 and is owned by the National  Trust. A rather basic, but cheap and useful, youth hostel used to occupy  some of the building until the late 1980's. I think it would have been a very  atmospheric place to stay,  falling asleep to the sound of the River  Itchen rushing beneath the building.  Nowadays, since they were reintroduced to the  river, otters regularly  come  this way and have been caught  on camera passing under the mill.
