Abstract: |
Analysis of the historic map evidence has confirmed that the likely construction date of the mill building to be around the late 18th - early 19th century, between c. 1761 and c. 1839. The map evidence also suggests that the single pitchback wheel was in operation by the 1st edition OS map of 1883. The site visit has identified that the mill had two overshot waterwheels at one stage and is likely to have ended with a single pitchback wheel at the southern end of the wheelpit. The site visit also confirmed that the majority of the mechanical elements of the mill machinery have been removed, including the gearing and millstones. Although the pit wheel pits and associated timber hurst frames for both waterwheel gearing mechanisms remain largely intact, as does the sack hoist drive wheel and associated features within the second floor loft space. The majority of the flooring, throughout the ground and first floors has been replaced but the flag stones of the ground floor are largely intact. |
