The Ordnance Survey surveyors draft of 1806-7 & the 1 inch map of 1809 show a leat flowing from SS843018 to around SS847010 which may have served a mill at this location, possibly on site of Creedy Cottages. By 1890 the south part of the leat was infilled and its route north of road altered by meandering of the River Creedy.
