Silverburn Flax Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows an ochre works at this location.
The site was however originally developed in 1767 as a fulling mill for processing flax by John Quayle, and later owned by George Quayle of Bridge House in Castletown.
The building was converted first for grinding ochre, and later into a dwelling in 1901, and has subsequently been the subject of further extension and redevelopment.
Silverburn, Ballasalla
