This large three-floored corn mill is built into the riverbank so the top floor is level with the top of the bank. The water wheel was driven by water from both Killhope Burn and Sedling Burn. It was built in the early 19th century and was used until 1939. The machinery was finally removed in 1990 and it is now a private dwelling http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRNMAP=D4640

Dist:0.1km<br/>This building was originally built in 1823 on Copt Hill, approximately a quarter of a mile away from its present position, but was moved stone by stone in the early 20th Century, because a quarry had encroached dangerously near it [source: Wear Valley Community website - General Walks leaflet: Cowshill].
