Watermill. A mill on this site marked on (S1).

Exterior in pebble dash. 2 storeys; a third storey clad in corrugated iron. Three sackhoists on this level. Boarded up and for sale. This building is 19th or early 20th century. Changed in 1933 from water to water and oil. In recent years the water level droped necessitating engine power and the final closure.
