Description


ST ISSEY SEA MILLS
SW 97 SW
4/241 Slip, quay and retaining walls

GV II

Slip, quay and retaining walls. Circa C18, probably with earlier origins. Slate
stone rubble. Slip from area to north west of Sea Mills millhouse (qv) into a creek
of a tributary of the River Camel, constructed of slate stone rubble with pitched and
horizontally coursed slate stone retaining walls to east; these walls have been
partly rebuilt in the C20. Directly to the west is the quay or jetty on which the
tide mill stood and where the foundations are still visible.
Sea Mills was previously known as Sea Water Mills. The first reference to a mill was
that of a grist mill in 1675 and in 1810, 1816 and 1846 a 3-storey stone building was
offered for sale. Ceased operation in 1899 when the Padstow railway viaduct was
erected across the mouth of estuary, restricting the flow of water to the mill pond
(qv) and the access of cargo ships to the mill.
