A view of the Grade II-listed Town Mill, Bridge Street, i.e. on the opposite side of St Peter's Way. This watermill, built in the 1740s, used the River Maun (behind it) as its source of power. Originally a corn and malt mill, it was converted into a cotton mill in 1795 following the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Following a fire, the two uppermost storeys were demolished and at some point it served as a warehouse until it was restored in the late C20th. It reopened as “The Town Mill” public house & function venue in 2002. It is currently empty, i.e January 2017. A former water mill of c.1775, it was powered by the River Maun. It was restored and converted in the late C20th and has seen service as a public house and a discotheque. It is currently disused and boarded up.
