Full description

Chope, R. P., 1967, Untitled Source, 63 (Monograph). SDV120078.

A mid 13th century deed mentions a tidemill within Dartmouth, and is one of the earliest such references in the country. No documentary evidence points to Old Mill Creek, but location of site and placename evidence seem incontrovertible. Already called "Old Mylle Creke" in 1534-43.
