Mill and adjoining house of stone. Mill has pantile roof, house flat tiles. The house is occupied and the mill was used until 2 years ago. Electric power had been installed because of reduced water power. The mill still seems to be in working condition. There is a large expanse of water behind the mill, fed by Owlands Wood Dyke. Wheel iron, c 15ft diameter, still in position. Machinery and one set of stones in situ. There are places for 2 more sets of stones. (06/08/1963). (1)

The existing mill buildings are entirely modern, probably late C18 or early C19. There is a most probable site of one or both of the DB mills. (4)
The chimney stack, now reduced in height, indicates that a steam engine has also been employed. (6)

A modern style mill seems to have been in being by 1717 at least. It was in use till 1961. It had two pairs of gritstones and one pair of French burr. At its final working it was using one set of stones. The wheel, which remains in an outside annex, is iron and approx 15ft diameter. Although the millhouse is now a private dwelling some machinery has been preserved as a feature. In 1802 Mr Ramsden, the Lord of the Manor, diverted the watercourse to make a bleach yard in Walk Mill Field. (9)
