Mill House black plaque

This black commemorative plaque records: Mill House 1838-1935. This seating area occupies the site of Mill House, a 2-storey dwelling built into the bank facing the road that once led to the ford. This road is now the slipway leading down to the Ouseburn. The mill was a flax spinning mill, built in the 1830s. Only the engine house remains of this mill, which was replaced by the building now known as the Cluny in 1848. Mill House had four rooms and was by far the largest of the dwellings built on this site. It was home to the Carr family from the 1890s to the 1930s. Recorded plaque organisation: The Ouseburn Trust.

Mill House, constructed in the 1830s, served as a significant residential structure near a flax spinning mill and was notably inhabited by the Carr family for several decades until the mid-20th century. The site reflects the industrial and domestic history of the area along the Ouseburn.
