Halstow corn mill, visible on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.

From the Lower Halstow Conservation Appraisal (c.2006): "Edward Hasted documented a water-powered corn mill working here in 1798 and milling appears to have continued until 1903. The existing Mill House was built in the mid C19 and is finished with white painted render... Parts of the network of waterways and ponds to the south were reasonably visible until recent times, but the filling-in of the old mill dam on land to the south and the incorporation in recent years of land into the back gardens of adjoining estate houses (and the subsequent raising of the land levels) has reduced some of the interest. The surviving traces of the old network of waterways, the feeder stream and the associated trees, nevertheless continue to be important to the character of the area."
