Modern watermill (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, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill was a small structure located immediately adjacent to the road bridge crossing the Glen Rushen river in the bottom of the valley. It was part of a complex that included several other structures (possibly a grain store and a miller's cottage) on the south side of the road and a miller's house to the north. The complex predated improvements to the road which left the gable of the mill protruding into the roadway, leading to it featuring prominently in archive photographs of this part of the village.


The mill has been demolished to widen the highway; its site is partially occupied by a pumping station.
