See notes and (S1) in file.
There has been a water mill at this site since the 13th century, with the windmill being constructed in the 18th century and the steam power plant in the 19th. In the early 20th century the mill was converted from corn to animal feed and had all power sources removed and was instead powered by electricity. The mill remained in use until 1976.
