Blackhall Mill was formerly a water-powered corn mill. It is shown as 'disused' on the 1921 OS Map. The maps show it was probably powered by water dammed further west on the Rowley Burn and channelled by a mill race just north of Dye House where it was also used for power by the local cloth industry. Not to be confused with the Blackhall Lead Smelt Mill which was situated further west, on the north side of the Rowley Burn, north-east of Mollersteads Farm, the site now hidden in woodland Image It was in operation from the C17th to c1811.
