and vertical shafts to 2 sets of millstones on 1st floor, horizontal screw
conveyor takes produce to a bagging point. A new mill pond is recorded in the
enclosure award of 1768 which may also be the date of the New Mill. Originally
driven by water power until converted to steam c1886 following seepage from the
mill race into mine workings. The remaining machinery indicates a final use as
a provender mill prior to closure in 1947. Focal point of this important mill
