Chris_Baker Posted 14 October , 2009 Share Posted 14 October , 2009 Forum members may be aware of a steam mill that was situated on the west side of Bailleul (Flanders). I'd be grateful for any information about this mill: what it did, how big it was, its condition by 1918. Pointers to any photographs would also be most valuable.

Chris_Baker Posted 20 October , 2009 Author Share Posted 20 October , 2009 Hmm. Perhaps members weren't aware of it after all ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 20 October , 2009 Share Posted 20 October , 2009 Sorry Chris, with so many posts it is easy to miss things at times. Manu Brill in Bailleul is your man for this. He has a big collection of images of the area and has carried out archaeological work here. I will see if I can find his email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zijde26 Posted 20 October , 2009 Share Posted 20 October , 2009 Was it Bailleul ? Highly interesting topic ! A lot of mills have been destroyed in ww1 and were never rebuilt Someone in Villeneuve d'Ascque (near Lille, Nord departement) or in Rosendaat (The Netherlands) or in Belgium (Molenecho's) might be very helpfull.

zijde26 Posted 25 October , 2009 Share Posted 25 October , 2009 To Chris Baker, Caestre (West area of Bailleul) had a ' steam mill '. Caestre is not that far from Bailleul. (Département du Nord, France). I do have a pre-ww1 postcard of that Caestre 'steam mill ' . If interested, i can send a scan. Please send off-forum an email address. Thanks.
