Opposite the junction with Cuckoo Lane. The Mells River is at the bottom of the valley, at one time it powered a number of iron mills in this area. "In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Fussell family ran a highly successful iron works business producing edge tools such as scythes, sickles, spades, shovels and other agricultural implements."
