A new development of housing constructed on the site of three former water powered works. The first reference to working on the site is to the old forge in 1792. A tilt is mentioned in 1854 and a corn mill is in operation by then also. The corn mill and tilt were demolished in 1905 although the old forge remains and is listed. The three works drew there water from two ponds which have since been filled in. Prior to the building of the works, the area was probably utilised as meadows. Legibility of the mills is partial as the old forge building and mill race survive.
