Dist:0.6km<br/>An 11’ breastshot waterwheel on a private site. Also known as Town Mill Foundry; a decayed and ancient corn mill also survives here. The foundry was established by William M Sara in 1860 and in 1997 a 24’ waterwheel was also on site, although some of its shrouds were missing.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Just north of the A30 on the road to Tolgus Tin. I hope I've got the location right. It's not easy to locate from secondary sources and I took it before Geograph featured on my radar.
