The original tidal mills at this site date back to the Domesday book of 1086, and the present structure of the House Mill was built in 1776 by Daniel Bisson.
[2] It is one of only four Grade I listed buildings[3] in the London Borough of Newham.
The south facade of the House Mill displays a coat of arms dated 1776 and the initials "D S B" (which could be Daniel and Sarah Bisson), with forty cast iron wall plates which tie the ends of the floor beams.
The Miller's House was rebuilt in 1995 with a modern interior, but retaining the original facade.
A Second World War bomb landed on a nearby bonded warehouse and damaged both houses on 15 October 1940 which were later demolished.
