Mills on the River Wey and its tributaries

These mills chiefly ground wheat, often referred to as corn, for flour and oats for animal feed though many were used in the production of other goods such as paper, cloth, leather, wire and gunpowder.

During the demolition, an English Civil War era cannon ball was found embedded in one of the walls.

It was then occupied by the West Surrey College of Art and Design[17] and by 2018 was a residential care home.

A corn mill until 1900, it then switched to producing animal feed until its closure in 1950.

Dating to the 17th century, the remaining part of the mill now houses a manufacturing and retail business.

A corn mill built around 1770 and situated on a stream from Badshot Lea.

An 1895 map shows the mill being used for the production of candle wicks and cord.

[28] By the 1920s it had ceased to function and was acquired by the Haslemere Urban District Council and used for various purposes.
