Tansley Mill

Mill and pond alongside Nottingham Road just beyond the Wood Yard. (Photograph kindly lent by Peter Drabble)

Power was supplied to the mill by water from two ponds, although is not known why the mill had a chimney. There are suggestions that the mill was a sawmill but some documentary evidence (Census returns) indicates that it was a Bobbin Mill in the 1880s.
