Abstract: |
Archaeology South East completed an EH Level 2 historic building record of the Stambridge Mills site prior to demolition. The mill was closed in 2001 and at the time of the survey was derelict. The site has been a mill since the late 18th century but the buildings, layout and operation has changed and developed for over 200 years, with large-scale development occurring in 1810-1811 and throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. The earliest building on the site is the 1811 mill house, originally located at the northern end of the tidal mill building of that date, which has since been demolished. The mill house has been extended after the demolition of the tidal mill by an addition to the south, but it does not appear to have become part of the industrial buildings, rather has become an ancillary structure for the mill workers. Two of the extant buildings formed part of the late-19th-century steam mill, which was extended by the addition of two other extant buildings after the turn of the century. These have been significantly altered internally and externally by 20th-century additions and removals resulting from the expanding mechanisation of the mill industry, especially during the second half of the 20th century. The remainder of the buildings date from the 20th century, largely the latter part of the century when the milling process was industrialised under the ownership of Allied Mills. |
