To provide more power, a new mill pond was built, along with new tunnels, inside which the date 1746 is inscribed.

[4] Further mechanical improvements included a new cast-iron hurst frame and gearing to connect it to the upper waterwheel, installed in the 1870s.

[2] The mill is constructed in buff-pink ashlar sandstone, and has a long cat-slide roof of Kerridge stone-slate.

Each operates separately, forming in effect two distinct mills with its own machinery, the water passing from the upper wheel to the lower one.
