Modern watermill and associated water management (site of).


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation 'Mill (Disused)'.


The mill building was relatively small. It was supplied by a leat extending 130m upstream, where the inlet took water directly from the river without the need for a weir. No sluice is shown on the OS mapping, but this may be a result of the disused condition of the mill. A tail race some 30m in length returned water to the river downstream.


The mill has been replaced by a dwelling, and the mill leat and tail race have been infilled. Their respective courses are still apparent as an access track and a property boundary.
