Meden Mill from the opposite river bank. Originally it was a typical C17th village corn mill with an overshot wheel. The mill was built of stone and oak with a pantile roof. Silt from Pleasley Colliery prevented the mill from working and in 1960 the mill owners decided to demolish the structure, filling the undercrofts with the demolition material. Much more recently (date unknown) Bench Architects of Buxton obtained planning consent to reconstruct it as a dwelling and the restored mill acted as a catalyst for Derbyshire County Council to grant-aid the relandscaping of the village green adjacent to the mill-pond sluice gates.
