Description
The Tide Mill, located on the seaward side of the dam and causeway across the mouth of Bartley Water, is a mid-18th century structure built on the site of a mill that dates back to around 1420. It underwent alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries and was operational until 1948, with restoration taking place between 1978 and 1983. The building is constructed of brick with old plain tile roofs and features an internally timber-framed design.
The mill consists of two parts: one section has one storey below the causeway and two storeys with an attic above, comprising six bays. The other section, set back from the causeway, has two storeys and one storey below the causeway, with four bays. The front facing the causeway has a lower part on the right-hand side with an outshot against the other section. The ground floor features segmental head arches leading to irregular plank doors and two-light casements. Above, there are two and three-light casements of varying sizes, along with a door that has an external staircase leading to the right-hand part. The left-hand part includes an arch running under the center and the causeway with sluice gear. Inside the lower right-hand part, there is a complete working waterwheel and millstones, with the wheel also surviving in the other section.
