GV II

Water mill; built as a corn mill and subsequently used for grinding flint. Earlier core to early and mid-C19 superstructure. Sandstone ashlar to lower parts (core); red brick above; tiled roof. 2-storey and attic gabled front to south side. Circular opening to apex over C19 casement window (left) and boarded door (right) on first floor served by an open flight of steps, wide mill door set to left of ground floor with brick relieving arch over. The undershot timber and cast iron wheel is set on the north-facing gable in a mill race taken off the River Churnet, and shared with the North Mill (q.v.). The grinding of flint to produce 'slop' was an important admixture to Tile-making in The Potteries during the C19. The mill forms part of a complex including furnaces and drying kilns (q.v.), all set in a close and attractive group.
