Modern mill tail race.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Flour Mill'.


The mill stands just a few metres from the Ballaugh stream, but was powered from a millpond excavated alongside the watercourse. The millpond extends as far as the gable of the mill, where the wheel was located.


The tail race, some 125m in length, carries water back to the stream; about one quarter of its length is shown culverted under the farmyard on the OS mapping. The tail race rejoined the stream at SC3447593635. The grid reference provided marks the midpoint of its route for indicative purposes.


The tail race is largely infilled.
