Abstract: |
A Level 2 standing building survey was carried out on 10 April 2018. Three main phases of construction were identified. In Phase 1, probably dating to the mid-late 18th century, the main mill was constructed. A small roofed building at the SE end for housing the overshot wheel does not appear on the 1st Edition OS and it may therefore have been added in the early 19th century (and survives until at least 1924 the 3rd Edition OS map). The main mill building was probably one room at that time. Evidence for the late 19th or early 20th century mill refurbishment can be seen throughout the building and the wooden floor was probably added at this time and possibly the wooden stairs. These improvements may have been due to developments in technology and included improved building standards, better kilns, advanced lifting and hoisting techniques and improved grinding stones to carry out the shelling and mealing processes in tandem. In the early to mid-20th century the building was again altered with Room 2 being converted for housing animals. |
