Summary
Fulford Mills is first recorded as newly erected in the late 16th century and it is shown on Norden's map of 1598. There are further documentary references in the 17th century and a mill is shown on the 19th century Tithe Map. The mill appears to have gone by the time of the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey map, although the map appears incomplete at this point.
