Some of the land off Hewson's Lane has been developed http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1161104 and named Mill View, though the actual mill view is partially obscured by a high fence. The derelict seven storey, former 4-sailed tower mill was built in 1813 and worked by wind until some time after WW1, assisted when required by an engine installed in the 1840s. Curiously, it isn't shown on 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 OS maps
