Corn Mill Court, SHEFFIELD, S6 4TN

Standard small GR pillar box. The Post Office no longer exists.

There has been a mill on this site since at least 1739, but the present building was built after the Great Flood of 1864. Originally a grinding mill, it was converted to a corn mill around 1915 and operated until 1956. It was converted to housing in 2008, subject to strict control on development, including retention of the water wheel http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2874295 as it is Listed Grade II.

The wheel is relatively unusual in being an undershot wheel. This has the advantage of requiring a relatively low head of water, but does require a large volume of water. The wheel was restored in 2008 and is operable, although there is no machinery attached. Listed Grade II as part of the mill http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2874287.

At the east end of Loxley Road, near Malin Bridge. The use of a bold sans-serif typeface and widely-spaced letters was understood all those years ago.

This Grade II-listed mill is situated on the south side of the B6076, at the busy Stannington Road & Holme Lane junction. It seems that there has been a mill on this site since 1739, the original one being used for knife-grinding. In 1864 the mill was destroyed in a devastating flood after which a replacement was built by the Wilson family. Around 1915 it was converted to a corn mill - by the Marsden family - and functioned as such until 1956. It hosted various business enterprises since the mid-1950s before becoming disused. In 2006 Sheffield City Council sanctioned the construction of 23 new apartments to be built on the site under strict preservation conditions and the apartments and restoration work were completed during the second half of 2008. This is one of the few remaining examples of an undershot water wheel in the country, its potential power source being the River Loxley, as seen in the photo.

The river Loxley is a tributary of the river Don and has several dams, weirs and former mills along its course to the northwest of Sheffield. This weir is located next to a former corn mill (wheel still in place) at Malin Bridge.
