The Old Mill, near Tursdale
This building dates from 1813 when it opened as a paper mill; it was later also used as a corn mill. That business ceased in 1890 after which it had a variety of uses including as a pub. It is now an up-market inn with 12 en-suite rooms. In this view taken on a dismal December day the external lights are still on even though it is about 9-30am.
