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
