Modern watermill.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a group of buildings centred at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill complex was of late 18th or early 19th century date: its availability to rent is advertised in local newspapers from at least 1807, and is described as including a miller's house and kilns for drying the corn. The buildings were ruinous by the 1960s and only part of the shell of the mill survives today.


Waterpower was derived from a leat drawn off the Sulby river from a weir immediately downstream of Sulby Woollen Mill, and augmented by the tail race from the woollen mill. The mill was protected by a complex overflow race governed by two sluices. A tail race returned the water to the river.
