The 1891 map shows Kirkby Mill just north of Mill Lane, it was demolished in the 1950's. It appears to have created a mill pond of 1.337 acres and the outlet discharged southwards via Mill Brook, passing the church of St. Chad, eventually to drain into the River Alt. It is now a popular fishing spot for local residents.
