The name of the field according to the 1838 tithe map and formerly part of Middleton Common that was enclosed in the mid 17th century. The current large field was once two Great and Little Mill Common and the rise in the ground plus the name suggests the location of a former mill. Viewed from the footpath that links The Potteries with Hundred Acre Lane.
