NS 9735 3818 Further trenching in late October 2002, at the corner of Mill Road and Millands Road, revealed the foundations of a building shown on the 1st edition OS map of 1862. There was no evidence of any structure or features pre-dating this building, which is believed to date to the 19th century.
