This mill was built in 1767. The large chimney on site suggests that at some point it was converted to run by steam power. It has been abandoned since the 1940s. The gears and millstones are in a heap next to the building due to a partial collapse of the supporting wall. I’ve made a video of my explore along with a few other places if you want to check it out (no pressure of course) Video

The building looks like it's giving a thumb's up.
