Abstract: |
A programme of building recording and monitoring of below ground interventions was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology, prior to refurbishment and partial demolition of Millend Mill at Millend Lane, Eastington, Gloucestershire. It was clear that the mill fabric exhibited many indications of the changes it had undergone in the period since a complete rebuild in c.1818, when the main range, Building 1, was erected. The two brick ranges along the Frome (Buildings 3 and 4) were probably added not long after and were almost certainly in existence by the 1830s. Evidence for an earlier stone-built range, probably contemporary with Building 1, was seen under Building 3 during the watching brief. These three ranges formed the 19th century mill which underwent many changes. Sometime before 1914, possibly before 1873, the malting kiln was added (Building 2). Buildings 5, 6 and 7 were added, judging from the fabric and design, and from historic mapping, after a fire of the early 1930s. After that fire, the main mill, which had suffered the brunt of the damage, was much modified. All the buildings were changed considerably internally in the ensuing years and all the machinery, apart from some remnants of belt drive wheels etc, has long vanished. |
