On the right, and showing obvious signs of having been adapted for commercial purposes, this brick building was once the Field Mill manager's house. The mill, formerly a corn mill that was later adapted for cotton spinning purposes in 1788, was situated behind the photographer's left shoulder. Having stood empty for a considerable number of years after the mill ceased to function, the manager's house was converted into "The Early Doors" pub, before it took on its present day restaurant function. The buildings on the left are part of a large commercial laundry. The former mill pond is now an angler's paradise and part of the Maun Valley trail.
