Warp Mill. Building now converted into 2 cottages. Stone, 20ft high by 65ft long with red brick extension. Condition poor (09/07/1963). (2)

Worked by G Robinson by mid 1770s. Parts survive, but cannot easily be distinguished from the existing chapel and cottages. (3)

George Robinson was tenant of Walk Mill - used as a corn mill, had a very large dam. It has been much altered and is now a private house. The dam has long since been drained but its outline can still be traced. (4)

Watermill shown. (5)

The former corn mill, Wark Mill, appears on a map of 1692 and may be a much earlier site, recorded in documents from the 11th century onwards. A datestone bears the name J. Greene and the date 1710, which is when the mill site may have been rebuilt. Robinson first leased the site in connection with his bleaching activities and these may have also occurred on land below the mill where there remain sunken areas of unknown date or purpose. (7)
