Abstract: |
The assessment established that two principal landscapes encompassed the study area. An agricultural one centred on the former Longworth Hall, which was demolished at some time after 1908, at the northern end of the study area; and an industrial landscape centred on the former Longworth Mill, which dated to c.1608. The mill was powered by a water-driven wheel, which was fed by a leat and weir from the adjacent Eagley Brook. The latest mill was demolished in 1907 and, although there were still extant peripheral features relating to the mill, such as leats, bridges and ancillary structures, there was little surviving of the mill itself.
