Modern ropewalk.


It is thought that two grain mills, rented by William Hubart 'near Castletown' and recorded in the 1511 Manorial Roll, refer to the Golden Meadow site. The existing mill buildings are more modern, and a newspaper report of 1816 would seem to confirm that they had at that time been recently constructed.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1868 shows the complex as a 'water mill (corn)'.


The two main mill buildings are arranged in a row, with the waterwheels arranged on adjacent gables. The more westerly of the two mills was used for threshing, while the larger, easterly, mill served as the cornmill. Milling ceased in 1981.


The building which until the 1970s stood at the south-easterly corner of the site was at one time part of the rope-walk that extended onto the Qualtrough's Yard site at the head of Castletown harbour. The site is now occupied by garages. Most of the other surviving buildings on the site have been converted and are now in use as holiday accommodation.


The mills were owned by the Moore family for c.300 years.
