Full Description
Remains of a C-listed corn mill, now disused, and cottages, with a mill dam to the North, and a lade running through the mill, and re-joining Barry Burn to the South of the mill. The mill itself was re-built in 1783. The 1st edition OS map shows a T-plan mill building, with the long elevation facing South-East, and a wing protruding to the North-West. There are rectangular cottages to the East, oriented North/South, one to the South-West, oriented North/South, and another to the West, oriented North-West/South-East. On the 2nd edition OS map, there are an additional two rectangular cottages, one to the South of the mill oriented East/West, and another to the East, oriented North-West/South-East. The cottage on the 1st edition OS map to the South-West has been enlarged, and its orientation changes to East/West. The mill dam to the North is larger on the 2nd edition OS map, extending to the North. The mill is recorded in 1977 as being constructed of sandstone and having slate roofs, and being used as a barn. It would now appear to be roofless and heavily overgrown, with walls standing to around single-storey height. The cottages to the South-West and South of the mill appear to have recent cottages built on their footprints, as does the cottage to the West. The cottage to the South-West is no longer there. The cottage to the East of the mill appears to be original, having the same style walls as the mill, but with an asbestos roof. Aerial photographs show a row of trees following the path of the lade and mill dam to the North of the mill.
Period Notes
The mill was rebuilt in 1783. There are additional cottages built in the 19th century, which now mostly have modern cottages built in their place. Listed 15/01/1980.
