- Alan Appleby and his wife Dora might be restoration experts, but they've never taken on a project as ambitious as this. They've saved a flint mill in Stone, Staffordshire that's on the verge of falling down. Alan is a building surveyor, and shouldn't have a problem fixing the massive structural damage.

This once hard working, abandoned and neglected piece of History has been
transformed into a beloved Home, cherished and saved by a passionate couple...
Bless their heart...
They'll need more than blessings, the poor things are now short one retirement. Not sure how they're gonna eat.
I would imagine that he could work part-time as a surveyor without it being onerous. They are also mortgage free. Amazing build.
I'm addicted to this show.
Julie Barnett hehehe.. true. I think I do as well. “I’d never do that myself!” Of course I would.
Me too, but to many repeats.
Yes, I just discovered this channel about a month ago, the stress of the financing gets to me though...
Ditto... and George too!!!
Same
What a lovely couple. My hat is off to them for hanging in there and completing their dream home while keeping a historical building alive. Enjoy your new home!
This episode is one of my favorites ever. The couple is wonderful and so full of love and strength and courage for their beautiful restoration project. Well done and congratulations 🍾 to an amazing couple and a incredible restoration
Agreed. If you can stay together through a rehab, your solid! lol
@@faithm9284 ...or a refurb.
I like this guy. The gentleman whoa restoring the Flint mill. He just had an air of down to earth authority about him. Not bashful, but not brazen. He just seems like a fun guy to know
The craftsmen on these jobs are incredibly talented, masters of their craft. I'm just so impressed.
That's how Europe is, thousands of years of mastery
Alan and Dora are artists. This is so far the best episode of Restoration Man during this pandemic video binge I'm currently undergoing. They were hit financially and maybe were regretting taking on the build in the middle of construction but what they created in the end is a true reflection of their artistic sensibilities. Best restoration so far.
All of these restorations are amazing but this one is special. It feels like the flint mill is still there not gyprocked over. Really really well done Alan and Dora.
eta, given the market action the last two weeks, you dodged a bullet pulling your money out.
Fabulous job! And glad they showed the final product.
I ❤️ this owners enthusiasm about the history of his property. God Bless them for keeping this history still up and standing instead of torn down or just left to fall down.
Oh My! Alan and his wife did an Amazing job in restoring the Old Mill. Loved every aspect of the job that they took on right down to the restoring of the old metal desk and the use of it. The old wooden beams, the creation of every room addition; love the round windows and the discovery of the stones. The landscape is absolutely astonishing, what a lovely place to retire to.
I especially loved how they grassed over the old route the water took from the river to get to the mill.
Oh my goodness, I just hope they are able to get back on their feet financially. What they have done is absolutely beautiful, I for one appreciate them saving a large piece of history
The guest room is used as a B&B. They run it. With no mortgage they should likely be able to plow back into their savings from their jobs and the room rental. And since 2013 my guess is the value has gone up enormously.
I’m addicted to this show myself ! I’ve learned a lot of History and watched beautiful buildings be brought back to life !
The BEST RESTORATION!!!!
I have watched many of theses episodes and other British renovation shows...this one has been my favorite..so far...Great job Alan and Dora...CHEERS...
What other British Reno shows are there? I am in the US.
This was a joy to watch the transformation. We have done lots of new and old buildings. The ole ones get our heart and our budget every time.
Going in, I guessed $450,000 US and it's $520,000. It's really lovely and I'm glad that they saved a huge part of the area's history. I'd live there in a second. They kept so much of the original character and it feels modern and comfortable while not erasing it's original features.
I agree with G Mac. This one is also one of my favorites...Bravo, stunning home...rr Normandy, France
Well done and nothing but praise , sitting here in southern calif. with my coffee and the ending brought Tears at such a transformation from turn of century key industrial literally Rock to coffee cup to residence , you see my parents grew up in Flint michigan usa and mothers side of family is from Frankley Worchestershire England , yes a piece away apx 35 miles south , just a outstanding restoration accomplishment Bravo !
I learn a lot from these videos...that's why I cannot stop watching them.
People who buy neglected property should have compensation due to they want to willing preservation the old style. That a form of respect for they effort.
I really liked this couple! What a great building to restore, and they did a wonderful job! I was rooting for them, unlike I have rooted for any other couple on this show! So glad they were able to finish! 👍👏❤😊
This is the best of all his shows.
What a character, I like the way you keep the old and modern together.
Heartwarming project. I was touched by these two devotion to preserve and restored this mill. I loved every view of it and more so, that it is in Flint.. One of my best friend's name. Best of luck!!!
What a great couple and what a fantastic home, the way that the builders stitched the front wall together is amazing.
All the money is well worth what they have achieved, a totally unique piece of history AND a wonderful home, well done to George too!
Other naive couples who go into this kind of restoration would have given up on the project because they wouldn't have been willing to sacrifice their retirement but these two recognised the value of this beautiful old building and threw every last penny into getting it finished to the highest standard. I'm from Stoke on Trent and know these areas well and now I'm prepared to drive to Stone just to check this place out. Hands down one of the best and most respectful restorations I've ever seen.
Job well done! I especially love the kitchen and the second flight of stairs in the staircase that shows the extension and brick.
This has to be the most incredible restoration I have ever seen. My hat is off to Alan and Dora to a job well done for their perseverance to complete the project. It was definitely worth all the blood, sweat and tears they contributed to make this restoration so wonderful.
Awesome episode by far my favorite so far
This is by far the best restoration video I have seen in you series
Wow george looks really tall standing next to them
He is 6 ft 2" with eyes of blue. The perfect man in every way.
George is my Daddy lol
Beautiful renovation. Every penny spent well. I am so envious!
Thanks Alan and Dora. We now have another wonderful, saved bit of our historic built environment. This little flint mill building gives us a tangible link to the past.

Bethel, Missouri, USA
Such a beautiful job. Very well done.
That is DETERMINATION! Alan and Dora, you guys have fortitude! Congratulations!
The timber of the annex continuing into the brick building is really nicely done!!!
They did an amazing job. They even have good taste in decor! Most of the people on this show have no design taste lol
Awesome restoration......
Cutest one I've seen yet! Love it! The kitchen and the back garden so great!
Brilliant! This has my creative juices flowing with dreams of renovating an old mill or barn. I have a feeling anything is possible!
Great restoration
Lindo, maravilhoso, 🇧🇷.
So, so beautiful... I cried with them. Do you know what, they should oppen for visitors for a while, or 1,2 ,3 times a year, to recover the investiments... go ahead guys... you two deserves it.🌼❤🇧🇷.
airbnb with the guest bdrm...
the garden walk using the former channel brilliant
Congratulations George, one of the bests.
Awesome, this's my favourite restoration so far. You did it very well❤️👍🏼
What a nice couple they seem to be. I love how they didn't over power the history of the building with anything modern, just touches here and there. All around a great job.
Incredible work wow I really like it, congratulations and thank you for sharing the history
Such a lovely couple, and thoughtful and nice people, and they listened to advice and did their very best, I would love to live there, I wish them the best of happiness
This is an amazing restoration. Congratulations to the owners!🎉

Fantastic!!! even the Grounds are so unique.
What a Great looking home, and a piece of history is saved 👍👍
Beautifully done.
That is one interesting building. Big mill fan here, of all water driven kinds.
brave couple ,most amazing transformation i ve seen ,love it all
Lovely couple, I'm glad they were able to complete the project and end up with a beautiful home.
Fantastic job!
Alan and Dora are two very special people to take on this massive project. I wish I was 30 years younger as I would like to tackle a project, but age is against me. This without a doubt now a special building and should inspire others around the world to restore what is left of your heritage!
Awesome renovation! The guest bdrm looks even more stylish then the master bdrm as far as the camera gave us insight. I feel I would have put in more windows and chosen more light colors to invite more light into the rooms. Excellent work and my respect for sticking to their dream!
It's beautiful, impressive.
One of my fave rebuilds
this is wonderful effort
What a gorgeous place!
Bravo,amazing house.
I love this building they did it amazing justice and the add one matches they did amazing.

Great historic rebuild project
Yikes
As a surveyed study
Were water was flowing
It's easy to return...
A slanting Hill side"
rain water flows down,
Even as filled in" as this.
This is 🤪 A bit bonkers and
Scary" to live in this building.
Gusty move!
Wish them well and luck 🍀🤗
What beautifull restoration!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
Love it! Fabulous home,,,,I wish I had enough money to help them out financially.
Fabulous. This show makes me want to move to England ....if I could afford it.
Hi, which music plays at the beginning?
I really like the soundtrack, can I buy it somewhere?
Wow. They have a beautiful eye for design. Stunning. Probably one of my top 3 favorites. They seem like a wonderful couple. I hope they are still enjoying their gorgeous home.
George, you're awesome!
Yes George is perfect in every way.
Best one ever
I really love it...
It is just magnificent. Plain and simple. It’s worth it. You only live once you know.
Great dedication. Every penny counts. May they be debt free. 🙏
Nice couple, excellent restoration.
I love seeing these underappreciated buildings given a new life while celebrating their history.
George Clark has the Gift of the gab... and a true friend and Encourager of this and every mortal man and his darling wife. ❤❤❤
omg they're both so tiny! Great restoration too :P
Fantástico !!
love the mill and how they kept its character and added lots of charm to it . very unique with a private garden. Dowside it that damn train right next to them. It went by too often.
That's Britain for you. Too many people in too small a space.
Awesome
I really like this one. Not necessarily where it's at though. Her kitchen is my favorite! It is not really huge, it's not sterile looking, has tons of character. The old and new elements blend well together. I also love how they kept the bricks showing in what we would call their living room. I just love old bricks, stone ECT.♥️
nice couple, they did a great job, wish them the best
Cracking house,beautiful.
I am joyed that George what a lovely coupleThe house looks fantastic
I love this house.
If I were young and rich this would be so much fun. All those stairs are not for me but...it looks great!
I love these shows. But you really need to sort out the background music when George is talking as I cant here him..if I turn the volume up Obviously it turns up the background music/sound. Apart from that brilliant
Great restoration that should see that building survive for another few hundred years. 99.9 % of people would not get involved in such a project, fair play to those who take such a monumental headache.
Beautiful place, but that poor man looks absolutely broken.
Absolutely gorgeous!

Alan and Dora are a great couple on the show
