Former water mill - the River Lud used to run past the front of it parallel to the Louth Navigation. Corn was brought to the mill by barge or cart for grinding. Under the west boundary was a 4' tunnel running from the river to the canal. This was used to "top up" the canal basin. A listed building in a sorry condition. Taken during a walk led by local historian Stuart Sizer on the occasion of the Louth Navigation Trust's 2020 Heritage and Arts Festival.
