Monument record 2623/1 - Coulthurst Mill

<1> Norris J.H., 1968, The Water-Powered Corn Mills of Cheshire, p.69 (Article in Journal). SCH6001.

The mill house survives, although little evidence of the adjoining mill can be traced. There is some indication of the pool position and headrace from the weir. Originally the mill had two wheels, one overshot, the tailrace of which drove an undershot wheel. The site was cleared after the last war.
