Full description

Minchinton and Perkins record that Dinham salt water mills were advertised for sale in 1851 (2). The 1st Edition 1:2500 OS c1880 map records a disused tidal bone mill at the site (1). A tidal pond is recorded on the 1963 OS map but this is not apparent on the current 1:10000 edition (3, 4). The CCC 1999-2001 vertical aerial photograph shows no survival of the mill, however it appears to indicate some building survival at SW 96879 74455 and at SW 96876 74417, two buildings on the western bank.

Grain mill, extant in 1860, bone mill in 1865. Disused by 1881. Oatey foundry provided a bevel mortice pit wheel 9' diameter with 113 cogs in 1839; waterwheel axle 2' square (5).
