Probably the site of Ecclesfield's medieval mill dating back to at least 1451. The site was recorded as a cotton mill in 1749 a use thought to have persisted until 1848 when the site was taken over by John Gladwin, a paper manufacturer. The water wheel served until 1900 or 1901 (Miller 1949, 95). Dam appears on 1999 Cities Revealed aerial photography to be water tight. Mill buildings demolished, but foundations of buildings remain in situ as does a sluice draining the dam and a twentieth century rebuild of the earlier shuttle. Partial legibility of older landscape.
