Summary

Adjoining Spurstow Hall is the mill pond and derelict mill building of Spurstow Mill . The mill is marked on Bryant's map of 1831, though an earlier reference to 'Two Mill Meadows' is recorded in 1658. It is marked on the 1st edition 6 inch OS map of Cheshire as a 'Fish pond'. There is no mention of mill, so it was probably out of use by 1874, when the survey was completed.
