Description

The bridge over the mill stream at King's Mills, built around 1800, features attached walls to the mill stream and a mill wheel. Constructed of ashlar stone, the bridge has ashlar coping on the parapet on the northeast side and includes two semi-circular arches, with the northern arch being smaller and partly blocked. There are ashlar retaining walls along the mill stream, and a fragment of ashlar walling with a wooden lintel is located over the mill stream to the southwest of the wheel. The large double mill wheel, approximately 6 meters in diameter, has three heavy cast iron rims, spokes, a spindle, and some wooden paddles. The outer wheel on the southeast side includes gearing notches, and there is another gear wheel on the far side. This structure is a surviving fragment of a large mill complex.
