Summary
No longer extant, there were once two mills here known as Sticklepath Grist Mills. In addition to grinding flour, the mills are known, at various times, to have ground bone and held threshing, combing and winnowing machines. The mill building was drastically altered and converted to a dwelling around 1950, now known as Albany House. The wheel seen today was installed in 1972 to generate electricity for the house.
