Claddagh Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building at the grid reference provided, accompanied by the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
The mill complex consisted of the mill itself, a grain store and a miller's house.
The mill ceased work in 1927 due to a fire; at the time it had been relatively recently re-equipped with a new waterwheel with castings manufactured at the local Gellings foundry in 1905.
The miller's house recently (2016) received planning permission for redevelopment. The mill (and the store) are both roofless.
