This spot used to be the site of Carter's Mill, an old mill powered by the adjacent weir.
All that remains now is the millstones and weir after the building was dismantled, and the iron water wheel removed for scrap in WWII.
The post-medieval corn mill was in use for much of the 19th century. The mill is marked on the 1840 Ordnance Survey map and on a mid-19th century tithe map. The 1880 Ordnance Survey map labels it as a flour mill, but it is disused by the time of the 1922 Ordnance Survey map.
