Abstract:		 The watching brief was undertaken during the demolition of Warburton Mill. The standing remains at Warburton Mill covered the period from the late 18th/early 19th century to the mid 20th century, spanning the mechanism of flour milling that took place in the late 19t century, represented by the transition to steel rollers and the introduction of the more advance water turbine technology. The earliest, and largest part of the complex to survive was the four storey brick milling building dating from the late 18th/early 19th century. The demolition of this complex revealed a sandstone lined wheelpit, head race and tailrace at the northern end of the main mill block containing evidence for two waterwheels; one associated with the main mill block; the second associated with a mill site on the northern side of the wheelpit. No remains were recovered that could be associated with the medieval references to a watermill on this site. However, it was possible that the medieval mill lay at the junction of the New and Old Bollins, c 40m to the north-east of the current site. [Au(abr)]
