At brixham the possible site of a former tidemill (minchinton + perkins).

MINSHINTON, CITING HORSLEY, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV317683.

In 1172 the open creek was dammed at approx position of the strand (sx925562), and served 2 tidemills (kay mills) on either side of the valley. The remains of part of a tidemill on the furzeham side are still in use, though probably rebuilt several times. When the other mill was abandoned c 1650 (see sx95nw/100) a normal mill pool fed by 2 streams was constructed beside middle street to drive this one, which operated almost to the end of the 19c (minshinton, citing horsley).
