Development History
November 1990: External inspection shows the mill to be extremely ruinous and overgrown with ivy. August 1999: External inspection reveals further deterioration due to ivy growth. March 2001: Local planners report that they are unaware of any change.
July 2009: External inspection suggests that the buildings have altered little since the previous visit by SCT. As before, much of the masonry is hidden by ivy and other vegetation.
January 2011: A member of the public reports that the last noted owner of the former mill passed away some time ago. Record updated accordingly.
17 September 2012: Site visit attempted by building inaccessible.
9 June 2015: External inspection finds the building engulfed by ivy. Rubble to the west suggests part of the former mill may have collapsed.
