Old Mill Mews
A converted workshop behind Dyke Road. The workshop itself stood on the site of Preston Mill a windmill originally built on the site of Regency Square near the coast but was moved by a team of 36 oxen in 1797 to this position. The mill survived until 1881 when it was demolished the site then used as a builders yard. Recently, the garages and workshops have inturn been demolished and replaced by a small terrace of houses out of picture to the left.
