I have with this picture are the words, The mill and the miller at Castle Bromwich.
 
Stitcher. The miller is named Mr West. I only know this because the same picture is in a book I have of Castle Bromwich.

A Benjamin Stone photo of the Mill in 1895.its been suggested that Charles Dickens was referring to this mill in his account of the Mary Ashford murder, written in his paper "All the Year Round" published in 1867. He referred to it as "Twamleys Mill". However, don't know if this name/connection was ever confirmed.
