White Mill Rural Heritage Centre in Sandwich, thought to have been originally built in 1760, still has most of its original wooden machinery. The centre is housed in the Miller's Cottage, built in the 1830s. With the outbuildings they are a rare example of a surviving complete milling site. The Engine Room, restored in 1995, contains a Lister petrol engine used to drive a Plate Mill to grind corn into flour, which ran from the Victorian era until 1957,  and for almost 100 years by one family. Exhibits of farming, craft tools, kitchen and laundry equipment, as well as a Blacksmith’s workshop, evoke the work lives of the mill in the past.
