Corn mill with an enclosed high breast water wheel 15' by 5' on 8 T-section spokes. This drove two pairs of burr stones from a spur wheel, and a third pair of monolithic stones from a flat belt. The mill was widened to take an M roof after 1857. Milling stopped c1920 and the roof had given way before its conversion in 1999. The circular section kiln is contained within a rectangular granary, stepped up from the mill. Note the nearby roadbridge with parapets so low that a new and ornamental iron rail had to be added. Some remains and archaeological footings of Panmure bleachfield are a little way downstream.
