Tariffs

The premises now known as The Mill Forge began life as Grahamshill farm which also comprised a grain mill, powered by horse and from which the present name is derived.

The farm buildings date from c1740 and were the home farm to Mossknowe estate which was the primary landowner of the parish. The house on the property was built in 1862 for Mr William Graham, son of the Graham family of Mossknowe, whose initials are carved into the stone lintel above the main door of the house and are still clearly visible today.

Grahamshill was farmed until 1988 when the current proprietors bought it as a rather run-down property, with many of the old buildings having fallen into disrepair. The first task undertaken was to make the farmhouse habitable for the new owners to move in. It was decided that the stables and byre would possibly convert to form accommodation in a bed & breakfast style.

In March 1989 the new owners, the Smith family, moved in and work on the conversion began. Mr Smith being a joiner founded Grahamshill Joinery and the workforce began the renovation.

The stables adjacent to the house were taken back until there was only the outer walls left standing and renovated to form chalets 1-5 and a laundry store. At this time we traded as Grahamshill Chalets. The opening of these chalets coincided with an influx of workers into the area as the A74 was upgraded from dual carriageway to motorway in 1990. These chalets were first let on the 5th November 1990. Work began on chalets 6-9 in the spring of 1991 and was completed by late summer 1991.

The next project was to form our restaurant and bar areas. The barn was underpinned, a cellar excavated and formed and the barn was totally renovated by Grahamshill Joinery along with local tradesmen. All the woodwork was constructed by Grahamshill Joinery including the open timber roof to the roundhouse which was based on the previous "gincase" (a circular building where the horse drove the mill, grinding the grain), remnants of which could be seen on the outer walls of the barn. As many of the original features as possible were incorporated into the building.
