Woodborough Mill, between Epperstone and Woodborough. The original mill building has gone, but the existing cottages were clearly associated with it. The water installations on the W side of the steam are still visible, but there is no sign of the wheel. (3)
Buildings remain, possibly the mill building, but no machinery. No technical details known although in 1855 there were mill wheel, mill stones and dressing machines. (4)
