Abstract: |
In May 2014 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic buildings record of the dam to Ifield Mill, Ifield, West Sussex. The work was commissioned by Jackson Civils Ltd and requested by Crawley Borough Council, to be addressed as a condition placed on planning consent relating to works on the Ifield dam and associated spillway. These will include a new dam structure on the upstream face of the existing dam with a clay core from a borrow pit in the bed of the north pond, concrete revetments, and a new concrete auxiliary spillway and associated downstream structures. The mill pond and dam owe their existence to Ifield Mill, which was first recorded as part of the Wealden iron industry in 1574. The present mill was last rebuilt in 1817, at which time the dam was refaced in brick and the extant mill race constructed. To the west, the spillway consists of a mid-19th century basin, a late 19th or early 20th century footbridge and a late 20th century weir. The dam itself consists or an earthen bank up to six metres in height, scattered with sandstone rubble relating to earlier phases of industrial activity on the site. |
