(Location cited as NO 114 237). City Mills. The upper City Mills (pre 1774, 1792) have been converted to a hotel, the two internal low-breast wheels being retained. One measures 2ft (0.61m) in width by 18ft (5.49m) in diameter and the other 5ft (1.52m) in width by 13ft 6ins (4.11m) in diameter. The lower City Mills (1805-8) survive virtually intact, a 3-storey, 3-bay rubble block with an internal low-breast paddle wheel, 12ft 3ins (3.74m) wide by 14ft (4.27m) in diameter, driving three pairs of stone. There is a large pyramidal-roofed kiln.
Nearby is an unusual 4-storey rubble granary, with a projecting tower, dated from the mid 18th century.
