This is curious as the millpond here isn't shown on my older 2000 edition of the OS map, yet it is shown on the 2015 edition. The pond is also absent from old OS 6" maps dating back over a century, but it is on first edition maps of circa 1860. The building to the right is shown as 'Old Corn Mill' on early 20thC maps and is now offices for the agricultural company here. One has to assume that the millpond has recently been restored to something like its original size and shape.
