Nicholson (2001, 99) records the first mill on this site as being built in the 1740s with a ten foot weir (surviving) and a 320 ft tail race (partially surviving). The factory was converted into a mill for the production of linseed oil by crushing flax seeds in the 1770s. Converted to cloth production in 1845 (fulling) and various uses (including battery chicken farming) in the 20th century. It was bought by its current owners, South Yorkshire Home improvements (double glazing). There are no remains of the possible valley floor meadows so legibility is invisible.
