This old rear wall is what little remains of Hartley Corn Mill which was located here at the time of the publication of the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area in 1865 and which had existed since 1760. It can also be seen from the opposite side at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6456872. There was a long mill race cut into the bank side, to feed water to the mill, running along the northern bank of the Seaton Burn from the dam referred to at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6452256.
