Local History
There has been a mill on the site since 1380 using water power.There is still a water wheel under the present abandoned mill.The old mill building was rebuilt in 1880 following a fire.
The mill which has stood disused since 1999. is now part of a major redevelopment plan
The site has stood empty for almost 17 years, but now developers Stiles Harold Williams have unveiled ambitious plans to rejuvenate the derelict eyesore.
As well as 95 homes - ranging from five bedroom houses to retirement flats to starter homes - the development will include commercial space, to be used for offices or healthcare.
The Oast House has been earmarked for use as a potential art gallery or museum and there are hopes to reinstate the traditional roof, which was previously damaged by fire.
And now with planning permission granted for the Rother Valley Railway
the area seems to be getting a facelift
