Midland Wind and Water Mills Group

Who are we?

The Midland Wind and Water Mills Group, sometimes known as the Midland Mills Group, or MMG, is a voluntary, non-profit making society of mill enthusiasts. The Group was founded in 1976 and is loosely linked to the Mills Section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, but functions as an independent society. Its members are of a wide range of ages and backgrounds, with interests covering all aspects of mills and milling - historical, technical, practical, or "just interested".

Where are we?

The members mainly live in the Midland counties of England, ie in the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire but there are members in many other places in the United Kingdom and some reside abroad.

Why do we exist?

To support, actively and financially, the restoration and conservation of mills.
