Tyle Mill cottages

Tyle Mill is a mill situated to the north of Sulhamstead, Berkshire, England. Tyle Mill Lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal, built between 1718 and 1723 under the supervision of the engineer John Hore of Newbury, is nearby. Tyle Mill was originally a flour mill, which burned down in 1914 and was rebuilt, becoming a sawmill. [1] In 1936 it was acquired by George Clemens Usher, director of Abedare Cables of South Africa Limited, and became a private house which was owned by him for decades.[2][3][1] The singer-songwriter Kate Bush resided in a large canalside home close to Tyle Mill for several years until 2004.
