Full description
Drainage mill known as Neave's Mill, Keable Mill or Carman's Mill. Name from (S1). Tall, red brick tower; new aluminium boat shape cap fitted by Windmills Trust after original disintegrated. (S2) shows the former cap. Two periods of mechanical pumphouses by side - one 'gothicky' corrugated iron, one modern! Note this information is correct, but confusion has been caused by Ordnance Survey not marking this on (S3) - so (S2) has also put in wrong place.
E. Rose (NAU), 1 September 1983.
(S4) describes as built around 1870; called Neave's Mill, as river reach name by (S1). Cast iron fanstage sheers, brakewheel and windshaft. Wallower and timber upright shaft. Crownwheel, worm, worm hangars and shot curb rack.
