concrete lintel. The gables are coped, and in the left return

This section of the building has a stone panel with 'JH TIZARD
1846'in raised lettering with serifs.

The mill, with South Mill across the road, is an important
element in the street, and a reminder of former industrial
activity here by the River Wey, which is culverted under the
left-hand end of the building.
