Across the harbour in Woodbridge is the five story high, white weather boarded Woodbridge Tide Mill, the only working tide mill in the country. The principle difference between a tide mill and a normal water mill lies in the use of stored water after the tide has risen to provide the driving force as it is released. Records show that there has been a tide mill here since at least 1170. The present mill was built in the early eighteenth century and was working until 1956 when the shaft of the 20 feet diameter water wheel broke. In 1968 the decaying mill was bought and restored.
