The historic watermill next to the River Wye in High Wycombe has been re-vitalised after being covered in graffiti by vandals.
The guttering was also torn down whilst High Wycombe Society was finishing a two-year project to re-clad the Pann Mill, which is at one of the entrances to The Rye.
The graffiti covered parts of the newly installed cladding and most of the side and doors of the shed where mill machinery under restoration is stored.
The society along with volunteers who turned up to help, repaired the guttering, pressure hosed all the graffiti off the brickwork and re-painted the woodwork of the mill.
Dan Wilson, a local artist who previously painted the Victorian railway scene on the Brunel Engine Shed at the town's station, painted over the graffiti with a picture of sunflowers on the shed wall.
This work by Dan is only temporary as at the Mill's next open day on May 8 he will be re-painting the shed again, with something that promises to be even more eye-catching.
As well as seeing Dan at work you can watch the mill turning and producing its wonderful stone-ground, whole grain flour from wheat grown at Hill Farm near Stokenchurch.
