Please read our .

Summary

A flour mill and millpond marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch to 1 mile maps along with a brickfield. Given that there are not many other buildings in the area at the time of the map it seems likely that the brickfield was there for producing bricks for the construction or alteration of the mill. The mill and pond are also marked on the first and second editions of the ordnance survey 6inch to 1 mile maps Brickfields were where clay was both extracted and fired to produce bricks.
