(Location cited as NT 28797 64755). Springfield Paper Mill, founded 1742. A large complex of buildings of various dates. The oldest part appears to be a three-storey rubble block with small-paned windows, now used as a garage. Other 18th- or 19th-century parts are a long two-storey rubble block and the three-storey 9-bay office building. Now in multiple occupation.
