Modern mill tail race.


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. 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. A 150m tail race returned the water to the river, where it contributed to the flow feeding the millpond at Kella Mill about 40m downstream.


The tail race has been filled in and the only indication of its former route is from soil- and crop-marks. The grid reference refers to a point midway along its former course.
