Building record MAB12865 - MILL OF LESLIE

Corn mill dating from the early 19th century, depicted on historic OS maps.

Corn mill dating from the early 19th century, depicted on historic OS maps. These show a complex of buildings, mill lade, and mill pond. At the east end of the pond is a rectangular building.. Further east is an L-plan and rectangular building, the latter with a small garden enclosure to the south. To the north of the road is a group of at least 5 buildings, two arranged to form an L-plan range. A waterwheel east of the building near the pond is annotated on the 1945 OS map. Of the buildings south of the road, only the L-plan range remains (now Miller's Rest). North of the road, the L-plan steading (now in residential use) and house remains. The mill is a small 1-storey and attic rubble building. The wheel, 1.06m by 3.05m, was of a typical mid-breast type. Nearby was an 8-spoke all iron overshot wheel which drove an electric generator. Now gutted and used as a store. A photographic survey of the steading was carried out in 2010.
