A mill at Lowdham is associated with a mill which gained considerable notoriety in the C18/C19 for the ill treatment of London children apprenticed there. (4)
The mill is now a private residence, the waterwheel remaining in situ and working. No other machinery remains. Local opinion is that this is not the mill of ill repute but Cliff Mill is the one refered to. (5)
Flour mill. The present building believed to be on the site of one mentioned in DB. The mill was working until c.1940 when it was bought by Mr Cracknell and converted into a dwelling house, retaining the old mill wheel which is still turned by the mill (stream?). The buildings are in excellent repair. Mill dam still intact but no internal machinery remains. Mrs Cracknell has some newspaper cuttings and letter. The land belonged to Sir Francis Ley (1968). (6)
