Newburgh Mill

Newburgh Mill is a disused corn water mill located in Newburgh, dating from the mid-19th century. Attached at the rear are the remains of a 15th-century mill, with extensions added in 1689 and the early 18th century. The later section of the mill is two storeys high and constructed of brick with an interlocking tile roof, built in English garden wall bond. The north gable end faces the track and features central board doors on both floors, flanked by side-sliding sash windows, with a sack hoist above. The left side has one opening with a boarded shutter, while the right side has two bays of side-sliding sash windows.

The older mill at the back extends beyond the newer section and has a basement and ground floor made of rubble sandstone, ending in an offset. On the right side, there are three unevenly spaced openings on each floor, including a tail-race arch on the far right. Above this section is a brick gable added in 1689, along with part of the early 18th-century brickwork that raised the older gable by one storey. On the north side of the older mill, there is a board door in a quoined surround, with a side-sliding sash window above it. The east side features an arch leading to the mill head-race, with a first-floor round-arched doorway in 17th-century brickwork, topped with a sandstone ashlar keystone, accessible by steps that are now collapsed.

Inside the older mill, the roof has collapsed, destroying the second floor, and debris is scattered on the first and ground floors. However, the metal overshot water wheel, which operates on suspension principles, some millstones, and the line-shaft gearing remain intact.
