Pinsley Mill, also known as Etnam Street Mill,[1] is a former watermill in Leominster, Herefordshire, England.
It was one of Leominster's first mills, situated where the Pinsley Brook left the monastic precinct around Leominster Priory, and was mentioned in a lease of 1675 as a "watercorne" mill.
[1] At some time between 1744 and 1748 it was reopened by Daniel Bourn as a cotton mill, one of the Paul-Wyatt cotton mills built to house the roller spinning machinery invented by Lewis Paul and John Wyatt,[2] that first enabled the spinning of cotton "without the aid of human fingers".
[4] The mill was rebuilt and returned to its original function as a corn mill, remaining in use until the Second World War.
[1] The mill was vandalised and set alight several times in 2010 – 2013.
