A historic mill featured in Bryan Adams’ music video is on sale for £75,000.
The singer’s smash hit (Everything I Do) I Do It For You topped the charts for a record 16 weeks in 1991 and was the theme for the blockbuster film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Adams was featured performing next to a mill in the track’s music video, which was directed by Julien Temple.

Now the Silk Mill, built 500 years ago near the village of Holford in Somerset, is on the market for £75,000.
The 1.5-acre site includes areas of mature woodland, the fast-flowing Holford River, and the atmospheric remains of the former Holford Silk Mills, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The spot is so special that Sir Paul McCartney even bought the surrounding woodland and later donated it to the League Against Cruel Sports as a wildlife sanctuary.
Estate agent Ross Walls said: “Not many properties have such a back story.
“It’s a great lifestyle or conservation opportunity.
“I had an inquiry from a woman who loves Bryan Adams and was interested in leaving a property that means something to her to her children.
“I’ve tried to contact Bryan Adams too, but so far without success.”
In the late 1790s, the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy spent time living at nearby Alfoxton Park and frequently walked in Holford Glen.
The waterfall along the river, just a short distance from the property, was one of their favourite places and is immortalised in Wordsworth’s poem Lines Written in Early Spring.
Mr Walls added: “It’s an incredible place, truly magical.
“In the music video, you can see the ruin directly behind where Bryan Adams was singing.”
Founded by Huguenot refugees – protestants who fled France and southern Belgium from the 16th to the 18th century – the Holford Silk Mills once buzzed with industry, powered by the Holford River.
But the mill fell into disrepair in 1860 after two fires destroyed it.
Mr Walls said the property would not be suitable for someone trying to turn it into a home, but would be ideal for someone who wants to park up, go for a wander and escape.
