Modern mill leat.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a group of buildings 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. The buildings were ruinous by the 1960s and only part of the shell of the mill survives today.


A 400m 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, provided the necessary waterpower.


The upper part of the leat is still traceable on the ground, but the lower reaches beyond the Sulby Claddagh bridge have been infilled and are only visible as soil- and crop-marks.


The grid reference relates to the midpoint of its route for indicative purposes.
