Abstract:		 An archaeological building recording was carried out following the submission of a planning application to demolish the derelict remains of the former Seascale Mill, Seascale. The origins of the mill are uncertain. The earliest reference is from 1726 in a letter about repairs that describes a stone built and slated building that was evidently part of the Seascale Hall estate yet the majority of the available documentary evidence is from the 19th century. It was still apparently operating as a mill as late as 1893, but went out of use in the early 20th century. The two structures on the site were certainly ruinous by 1988, the mill wheel and gearing having been removed. Of the two remaining buildings the better preserved (Building 1) most likely represents a house used by the miller and his family, perhaps with stabling at one end, while the other building (Building 2) comprises the only surviving section of the mill itself, immediately adjacent to the largely infilled wheel pit. On the basis of dateable features, such as the door and window surrounds and the fireplaces, Building 1 was mostly of late 18th to early 19th century date and saw only minor alterations in the late 19th century before falling into disrepair. Building 2, by contrast, may have some earlier fabric, although this was uncertain due to the small amount surviving.
