Description

MILL STREET 1. ----------- 1481 Town Mill and Circular Weir to north west SY 09 NE 1/23 II GV

2. Probably built at the same time as the Factory, 1790, on the site of earlier mills. 4 storey, red brick with slate roof, casement windows. At the rear, to which the leat runs, the gable end has a moulded stone finial. Here, worthy of special protection is the "tumbling" weir. This is a large iron ring with a smaller ring inside it. Water from the leat not wanted for the mill, flows over the outer ring, and when that is full, into the inner ring, with hole at bottom, conducting the water into the river Otter. The Mill is not now in use for grinding etc: but it still has an unusually large upright shaft and spur wheel.

All the listed buildings in Mill Street form a group.
