Map

It is unknown when the mill was constructed, but it was build adjacent to a, then existing, barn. The mill was powered by a 22hp Ruston & Hornsby diesel engine. This provided power to the mill via overhead driveshafts and also supplied electricity to a welding plant. The building was divided into 3 rooms: the mill room with 2 sets of mill-stones, a grain store and the engine room. Above the grain store was a loft housing a powered sack pulley. Most of this machinery was moved to Gressenhall by 1976. Shortly after the site was recorded in 1980 it was demolished.
