Oxspring steam powered corn mill was built on this site in 1825. It received water from a small reservoir near the Wagon and Horses which was fed by an aquifer which ran in a culvert under the railway to the dam. A culvert ran under the road to produce steam. From the steam engine the water was piped underground to the river Don. By 1881 the building was noted on the census as a malt kiln where grain was steeped, allowed to sprout, then dried for use in brewing ale. It was connected with the Cubley Brewery. The mill was marked as disused from 1893 maps onwards and in 1922 the land was purchased and four houses were built which remain in place. The reservoir remained till the 1960s when it was filled in. (Nicholson 2001,159-162). This leaves no legibility of the mill but it is possible that some evidence of the culverts may remain beneath Oxspring.
