This is all that is left of the old Kearns Woollen Mill. In October 2006 the local council approved plans, by local building developers Hurstwood's, to build 19 apartments and 20 houses at the disused wool mill on Cowpe Road, despite strong opposition from a number of villagers, who said that 39 more homes was too many for the village to deal with. Since then the developers have pulled out and the old mill has been left in the state it is today. A picture of Kearns Mill can be seen before it was demolished in Image
