Description from record TR 36 NE 448:
Flour mill designed by Pugin. Constructed in 1865, the building is an early example of substantial mechanised factory flour milling. The mill was re-modelled on numerous occasions. During the Second World War tunnels and underground shelters were dug to protect the workforce - the mill site was hit by 9 bombs during the war.

It seems from building surveys that little of Pugin's original structure remains unaltered. Nevertheless, the fact that the site has been used for milling for 150 years continuously and that the alterations were made in order to keep it viable, means that the site represents a remarkable demonstration of the evolution of modern milling. The historic core of the site is the main mill building and office which are listed buildings.(1)

A desk-based assessment of the area describes a mill as being shown on a map of 1736 and two mills being shown on a map of 1822 (2)
