Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The Sidbury Tithe Map shows the mill leat or tail race from Sidford Mill to have once extended further south. A rectangular building is shown by the roadside where the leat turns sharply towards the river. The plot (1271) is called Mill Offices on the Sidbury Tithe Apportionment. It was then in the occupation of Charles Wicker.

It is not clear if the mill building is still extant but the tail race is shown re-entering the river circa 50m to the north.
