Modern overflow 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 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.


A 380m leat provided water to the mill, which was protected by an overflow race, the sluice for which was located at SC3112290715. The overflow race extended SW for 170m before entering the river just above the rivermouth at the grid reference provided. The lower part of the overflow has been destroyed by coastal erosion.


The course of the overflow is now occupied by a series of artificial fish pools which are fed from the leat.
