The mill was built in 1884; the previous structure was destroyed in a fire reported in the Sussex Advertiser, 30-9-1884. In the early twentieth century a two-sack roller plant was installed. A further fire in 1908 caused damage to the plant. Waterpower was used until 1945; a steam engine was used sparingly. After 1945 the mill relied on electricity. The low breastshot waterwheel of 17ft diam. x 8ft 10in width was still in situ in the 1990s. [Source: Derek Stidder & Colin Smith, Watermills of Sussex. Volume I - East Sussex. Baron Birch 1997] |
