This mill is listed as a cotton mill on the 1830, 1840 and 1860 OS maps. The 28ft diameter waterwheel which was to the left of the building drove some 9600 spindles on the spinning machines. By 1900 the mill had been converted to a beetling mill. It was destroyed by fire soon after and no machinery remains.
