One of the fields in the area of the Bishopsmead development, which borders Anderton Lane on the west side of the Tiddy Brook, is called Mill Park. This is a certain indicator of the former existence of a mill, most probably in the field in question, though it possibly relates to a mill site in an adjoining field. Given the location of the field, on the north-east of an important and historic tin mine (Anderton Mine), the mill is most likely to have been a tin mill. As yet no such site has been identified within the immediate vicinity of Tavistock.
