Tottiford Mill survived until the 1850s when it was acquired by the Torquay Local Board of Health under powers granted in 1856 and its water supply was diverted to serve Newton Abbot and Torquay. The building had been demolished by 1887. The leat is dry but still visible with a large bore iron pipe.
