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 has since been destroyed by coastal erosion. The mill was supplied by a leat and millpond, both of which however still survive and provide water to a modern fish farm.


Water is drawn from the river 380m upstream of the mill, the entrance to the leat being controlled by a weir and sluice located at SC3134590481. The leat extends for 160m before entering the millpond, at the other end of which a 130m leat connected the pond to the mill.


The leat survives in a functioning form as far as the overflow race (the grid reference provided refers to this point), at which point water is diverted through the fish farm.
