What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey sawmill, built c. 1870, with lean-to corrugated-iron addition to north-west side. Now derelict. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Rubble sandstone walls with dressed quoins. Square-headed openings with sawn timber lintels and remains of timber windows. Metal water wheel in millrace to south-east elevation. Sawing machinery in situ to interior.
This mill building, although now derelict, serves as a reminder of the industrial heritage of the area. The water wheel is still in place in the mill stream, and sawing machinery survives to the interior. Relatively small in size, it was probably formerly used to process timber from the surrounding woods.
