There has been a mill here since at least 1608. There have been grist, fulling and gig mills here. In 1825 the site was making cloth woven on power looms. From 1900 to 1954 the mill wove carpets and then until closure it spun carpet yarn for Carpets of Worth for weaving in Stourport. The site is now disused and waiting its fate. The Stourport factory has been flattened and the site has now been partly built on.
