Foundry, c.1800. Much of structure unsound. Original stonework in good condition. River Maun now underneath building. Imminent danger of demolition, 09/07/1965. (1)

This was the site of possibly C18 tannery. In 1827 (3) this site had a 12ft diameter wheel using a 5ft 8in head of water, situated 22 1/2 chains upstream from Town Mill. At this date Midworth set up a foundry at Bark Mill, Littleworth. The Birks family had a water-powered tannery , with wood-working and bobbin mill. Bradshaw and Sampson later founded Meadow Foundry on the site, 1852. A plan with a lease of 1872 shows two buildings straddling the river with an external wheel. There are now no remains on the site which is now part of the Mansfield Brewery Company site. (2)
