6/15 Mill buildlng at Iron Mills -
GV II
Mill building. Circa early C19 with C20 extension. Granite rubble with corrugated iron and tile roof, gabled at ends. Mill building with water wheel on the north side, facing the road. The iron and timber undershot wheel is no longer in use but until 1937 powered trip hammers for a tool-making industry. Single storey. The building has proably been extended at the left (west) end, which is rendered. The elm and iron wheel is in the centre with a doorway under a timber lintel to the right. Interior Roof trusses replaced circa early C20. Although the building is modest it has considerable industrial archaeological importance: the tool-making industry at Iron Mills is said to have been established in about 1820 and continued to use the water wheel for power until circa 1937. 2 trip hammers, 1 late C19, 1 pre-first World War, powered by electricity, are still in use at Iron Mill, sited in the C20 extension and are possibly the only trip hammers still in use in the country. There are plans to restore the mill wheel to working order.
