Cooper's Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill and associated water management.


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


The mill complex includes the mill itself, orientated E-W, and a grain store which extends from the north side of the mill at the west end. A small annexe on the east gable probably served as a kiln; a miller's house stood just to the NE.


The mill was served by a leat which extends 600m upstream to a substantial weir which draws water from the River Neb. The leat is guarded by a sluice.


The buildings survive intact, except for the miller's house, which was demolished c.2000.
